Liking retirement is a learned behavior that accomplished and successful people often have struggled with. Quite a few are like you, others just drop dead out of boredom, and there are those like myself who learn how to enjoy and indulge themselves and family as a full time job. If, however, working floats your boat, do it.

Fully agree, and as one who's approaching, I need to get an agenda.
A friend of mine did it well. He still plays Sr. League baseball in his 70's. They tour the world.

re: retirement. i retired in 2009 and did not like it. I went back to work for my old company under much better terms and will probably work until they carry me out feet first.

To each his own. I retired in 1997 and never had any desire to go back.

I got downsized in 2009, but I had just turned 62 and planned to retire at 64 anyway as I started saving for it at 25. Because of my age (protected group) they gave me a package that carried me almost all the way to 64 so I never looked back. Played golf and fished all summers long and skied all winters long until too many parts wore out and hand and knee surgeries became my year round sport. No regrets, but I do miss the sports. But, I can now concentrate my time and resources on audio and home theater and live concerts and still get out to trot 3 days a week, lift weights, core and resistance stuff, so I feel pretty fortunate as most of my friends face greater challenges at this point in our lives.

One downside is I now have more free time and keep making the same mistake of paying too much attention to the daily news and that's just not good for my disposition.

I have adapted well since day one in the life of leisure. Everyday feels like a snow day ( sorry Canadian expression ) I figured I needed a few decades hopefully, to do as I please before the ultimate rent check is due. No regrets.

If it's the last 5 liter bottle you'll manage another hour yes?

Depends on how much music is in the queue.
Still have a nice supply of moonshine, so no worries mate

That menu looked pretty good until I got to the sweet potato and cucumber brews. Way too healthy!

You definitely need to line up something to keep mind and body busy but I never thought I would be pulling a sweep in coxed 8 at 75. Like I said, whatever floats your boat but just do it. Like many retired people I feel busier now than ever and I used to be called a workaholic. That's what I call success in a new career.

Nope.
It's scientific fact.

Yeah so was the earth being flat, at one point in history.

Don't be daft.
It's you who's the flat earther now.
But as a professional it's better for me to stop arguing with a layman about this.
So let's keep it on audio.

LOL...Nice dodge.

 

[Pietro Cozzi Tinin]

It's not a dodge.
It's just not smart to discuss this kind of things if the reference cadre is so different.
I shouldn't discuss neuro-science with a non medical person.
I for instance know probably nothing about your profession so how could I discuss knowledge about it with you?
It would make us a Winders and that's really not worth it.
One is enough to sicken more than a few forums.

I along with others have the opposite opinion. That is Winder's postings are welcomed.

That's not the opposite point.
I think everybody's posts, so too Winders, are welcome.
There's a difference though in motive behind ones writing as you very wel know.
Putting words in someones mouth is not OK

Fair enough, I was unaware that I commented on neuro-science, if I did then it was unintentional. My point was that being a bully is NOT biological.
