What free time? I've been retired for going on six years. I still can't figure out how I had time to work. Seems like something needs fixing every day. Guess I either ignored stuff that needed fixing or paid someone else to fix it when I was working. Having the time to analyze and plan has allowed me to tackle some complicated projects that I never would have attempted previously.
We had a plan that included enjoying our mutual interests developed over the decades of marriage. We hike, ATV, Jeep, work in the yard, read and spend almost six months a year in the MH.
We eat healthy and keep a regular sleeping schedule. That was sometimes impossible when working. I actually feel better that I did before I retired.
My dad was forced to retire early due to health problems. Work was his life. He had a few outside interests but not many he could continue. After he retired, he sat down in his chair and waited to die. He was always immaculately groomed. He let himself go, wearing the same clothes day after day. When he didn't die after a couple years he started volunteering and did several terms on the grand jury.
