    Default Last Day

    Today is my last day of work. I am retiring because of stess and heart issues. It is going to feel funny not having a place to go every weekday morning. I'm glad that I could save enough money over years to retire at 59 1/2.

    A question for the other retirees, what do you do to keep busy?

    I go crazy.

    But, I have 5 kids, horses, goats, cows, house, and 80 acres to keep me somewhat busy. Do you live close to town or in town? If you do at least there will be some variety of thing for you to do. Sometimes, I dont leave the house for 4 or 5 weeks at a time. It makes me crazy.

    I'm kinda retired but not by choice. I'm 64 and keep busy with around the house projects,spend too much time online,work out at least 3 days a week,volunteer at church food bank pick ups, and job search. The only advice I have is keep busy,don't lapse into a sedentary lifestyle-it's not healthy. Other than that enjoy life and stop and smell the roses my friend.

    I would go crazy. Anything you always wanted to do, like start a business? Working at home is a lot easier now with the internet.

    Default I could give lessons on being retired

    Got any hobbies or interests?
    I like sex, drugs and automatic weapons. That's why i'm a dues paying member of the Libertarian party. Struggling to keep the government away from messing with the above.

    Congratulations on your retirement! I'm sure you've earned it. As it's been said, please do not fall into a sedentary lifestyle as you could go earlier than you ought too!!

    Whatever your hobbies are now have the chance to get your full attention! Learn a new skill, open up your own shop, etc!! Have fun.
