Take it easy. If you are out of shape work slow until your stamina builds back up. I work for the railroad and our average life expectancy is 11 retirement checks. This is mostly due to the lifestyle. So don’t just jump into anything full steam ahead for a while. May your retirement be LONG and enjoyable.
Old enough to know better, but dumb enough to still try.

I fail to see how anyone could bored. Don't know how I did everything when I was working! That’s retirement in a nutshell. My favorite retirement quote….. I get Six months paid vacation ….twice a year. I also took on a side job that is noon to one, with an hour for lunch.

Guy I know was an Electrician/Plumber. When he retired, he sold all his tools as fast as he could, so he wouldn't end up working for free for all the relatives and friends. LOL

Retiring the end of August 2022. 30 years in law enforcement. I'll be 57 years old. I dont think I will get bored. Gonna advertise my beaver and predator control business then. Ive been reluctant to advertise much over the years while still employed...would have got more work than I could've done.
Also, there are some mature buck deer that are gonna get surprised after my retirement date.
Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything!

I retired in 2010, haven't been bored yet.
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.

Wok harder now than before retired, but I play twice as hard. If I have a job around the property now, I can say "Poop I'll take care of it tomorrow, today is salmon fishing day.

In August 4 years for me being retired, lots of good advice here. If a person lived in an apartment or condo I could see getting bored maybe, but with a little acreage or hobbies a person should be fine. One transition that was hard not taking social security for 3 years till 65 was having to take out money to live on instead of putting money away. Once we started to get a check every month at 65 it is like way more money than we need, but 3 years trying to live on nothing was not that easy. I always intended to run a long mink line when I retired, but 2 to 4 dollar mink kind of put that out of my mind.
