My biggest concern is probably the same one as most of the other retirees, the potential for the erosion of the benefits we believed we would have for life.

On the one hand, I feel somewhat out of control now that I'm no longer "out and about" earning an income and interacting with people the way I used to (as a consultant, I was out and about and meeting people a lot). On the other hand, I have vastly more time to write and blog and talk at length with people about the important things: Kids, grandkids, my community and nation, without have trivial pursuits such as work get int the way. So, I guess my answer is that my biggest concern is largely balanced by the new life that created it

Are you asking people who are fully retired, or retirees of working age such as myself?

Regardless, like other retirees have stated my main concern is erosion of the benefits I earned for myself and my family after 20 years of sacrifice.
