[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 2378389, member: 52145"] Most people before they retire have their financials in order but really don't have a plan on what they are going to do after they retire. You'll hear answers like they will go hunting and fishing and travel in the RV or visit relatives. Then what? How long does all that take? a couple years? then what ? these are the people who die within 5 years. Before you retire , you have to spend as much time thinking about what you are going to do as with your financials. You have to have several purposes. Along with hunting , fishing, travelling , I suggest you develop a couple hobbies ( before retiring ) and maybe start a part time business with one of them, Volunteer. There are dozens of ways to volunteer in your community. We help with the scouts, swimming lessons at the pool, and sometimes with senior services and hospice. We have been retired only a little over a year and are so busy I can't believe it. All of it was choices we made that are fun and rewarding . We have plenty of time for ourselves with day trips with the dogs , visiting friends, or helping other people with all kinds of things. We had to make a rule several months ago that we would only do our volunteering work or other such things until lunch time and then the rest of the day would be for us. Like anything else , a successful and long retirement takes planning. [/QUOTE]
