This article examines the experience of adaptation to retirement among a sample of women (n = 124) and men (n = 176) retired an average of three years and living in an urban area of Ontario, Canada. The impact of retirement as a life event relative to other life experiences was examined, and found to be distinctly less critical than previous research would suggest.
