The end of April will mark my 11th year of retirement.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Retired in 2015, state job, now my life is trapping, hunting and trout fishing. My goals in 7-8 more years. Of course, minus the trout fishing, we don’t have those down here.

The end of April will mark my 11th year of retirement. I remember when you retired, but I thought was 4 or 5 years ago. Time is flying by.

I'm 67 and still work full time in the large copper mine here on the west side of the city. Most here think me foolish for working. And can't wait for their retirement, I can't even understand them just sitting around like they describe they wish to do, LOL
However I enjoy the work, I feel it helps keep me agile and hostile LOL, the money is great and I'm already taking my SS due to my full retirement age with out penalty. I do not work any OT and allows me time for other things.
I also still work part time on will call making gas ion Lasers for all types of applications, yet still find time to do my squeaker and leather work for my website.
I can still find time to hunt as well and enjoy my family and grand kids.
Time is what you make of it and not to be foolishly wasted wondering about it !!
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

This is kind of off topic but does relate to retirement. Most that I know that are still working in there late 60's and beyond are afraid to lose there identity because their work is who they are. Or one guy can't give up his leadership roll because he doesn't think anyone else can do his job. Some work because they are hoarders of money and see themselves as a king of wealth puts them which gives then the good feeling to be above most. And some that I know work because they have and absolutely need their job. Some work because they feel they can't stay busy and find a new way in life without a structured way and institutionalized that they know, no other way of life.
After saying all of that and people I know that fit each character described there isn't anything wrong doing any one of them for that reason. Do what makes you happy.
I do know, I for one, when I'm on my death bed, won't wish I had one more day at the office even thou I enjoyed my work each and every day. More to life then making someone else rich. Freedom to live each minute is a blessing.
Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Being I'm one of the young pups on here at 49 with around 11 more years of Bringing Good Things To Life. I ask a lot of people retiring for one thing they would do different before retiring. Almost all say save more money and few mention health. I enjoy seeing some of the old guys around town that I used to work with. But if you more senior retired ladies and gentlemen wouldn't mind to give some tips on what you might have done differently? Save more, pay off house, exercise........... Good Luck on retirement!
