THE STRESS OF VOLUNTEERING VERSUS REAL WORK

 Retirement allows time to join some community groups.

One would think it is easier than real paid work.

Not really easier but a different stress.

There is an expectation for volunteer work that is different. An expectation there is so much free time that can be used whenever.

For me it has been more stressful than fun or enjoyable. I am helping a group or two but at what expense to me.

Reading is easy.

Crafting is easy.

Calling a friend.

But committing to a free endeavor comes at a great cost too. I wanted fun and enjoyable not stressful.

At least if I quit I will not be looking for a source of income.
