Was retirement for you a good or not so good choice?

I love being retired. I quit working at age 50 in 2000. I have lots of hobbies and stay busy in the outdoors, working on my yard, teaching kids to ride horses and working with a service club. Every once in awhile I like to give a talk or lecture on forestry.

I feel sorry for people whose lives are defined by their work and little else. Most of them struggle with free time and contentment. It is my specialty.
