Just had enough

So much of what retirement is about is what fuels you. By that I mean if you are going to sit around and not develope those retirement interests I can see you being bored. I retired by selling my Shop 11 years ago then I pursued my passion of helping people with their dog problems. When I reached 62 and 1/2 I had it all in place to stop working. I have friends with similar interests, I still have my S&B and keeping it up the way I want it uses some of my time. We are snowbirds and part timers. But we come home to the roost often. If I get too bored I can take up another hobby or do some Dog training programs. The one thing for us is that we do not worry about the finances they are in place for the foreseeable future.
My SIL retired at what I felt was an early age of 49 he has a pension from GM with benefits. The problem is that They keep taking parts of his retirement Pkg. away and that straps him. My DD continues to work.
So I guess from a suggestion stand point it will be more about what you want to do and how you will fund it you can draw on the information you receive from us but in the end you will not find any of us to be exactly like you. So one mans pleasure could become your poison.
Once you are in a position to meet the monthly nut then the world opens up to fulfil your passions. I would not consider working again except to have fun and get paid for it.
