[QUOTE="rod, post: 1569714, member: 5382"] UPS retires have a good work ethic so when they do retire some of them (those without fulltime hobbies or outside interests) look for someway else to kill a day. If you retire early enough and still have your health you can't just sit around the house all day. Its amazing but there are jobs out there that are fun. My little handyman job for my local township is a case in point. I come and go as I please. There are never any last minute deadlines of work other than the cemetery HAS to be mowed a couple of days before Memorial day. Otherwise I set my own hours and work when I want to. I probably only average 5 to 10 hours a week depending on what time of year it is.. I get paid 20 bucks an hour to ride around on a cool $10,000 zero turn John Deere mower to mow the cemetery, park, ball field and around the town hall.. I also use the job as an excuse to disappear from the house for awhile (not that I really need an excuse) but its just easier to say "I'm going to the town hall for awhile" than it is to say I'm going to go screw off for awhile and I'm not sure what that will involve or when I will be back. Also the wife understands that the $$$$$ I earn at this job are mine to use for what ever toys or worthless crap I want. [/QUOTE]
