I label myself as semi-retired. I keep my hand in on some projects and that keeps me as busy as I want. DW is still brown-bagging but I can see the end in sight for that.
I do some work in a retirement community, most of my customers (beyond the association, itself) keep busy with volunteer and local community involvement. A few still work. Some residents travel extensively or split their time between residences here and further South. Retirement is a mixed bag, differing by personality, economic means, and later, by health. You sure can't argue with the "do it now before it's too late" mantra. I've pretty well lived my life with that in mind.
Retirement should definitely not be feared, even by those that have been plugged into one job for a long time and have to someday yank that cord. There are many things to do and see and isn't that what RV'ing is all about?
