    Is Retirement All It's Cracked Up To Be?

    I'm 62 and after 45 years decided to stop working as I had a few projects including getting the house decorated and some learning I wanted to do amongst other things. Plus, getting divorced gave me some freedom - good and bad points. Anyway, that was 6 months ago and after talking to my...

    So what does one do with their time?

    I've gone semi-retired, and I am so enjoying my time although it has taken a couple of months for my physical body to get used to it. I planned that the first few months would be decorating the house, and I'm now about to start a second year degree in Earth Sciences. At this moment in time my...

    Would you choose to be immortal if offered the chance to be?

    Looks like the overall answer is no. Although, if I continue as I do at this moment in time, not 1 second ago, not 1 second in the future, yes it might be nice . But then reality sinks in :(

For me, it is Earth sciences, well geology. I know that where...

    Do you think living alone is a big deal?

    I live on my own, was married for 20 years. I feel good that I am 'domesticated' so have a good and tidy place - apart from the projects that I can work on in my own time. But....for me now, the priority is to share with someone else, as a companion. Time alone is good, time together is better.

    What's your attitude about money?

    I've always been careful with money both in saving and spending, and have managed to balance things out plus put money aside for rainy days and now retirement. Don't let it rule you but be pragmatic how it's spent. Of course there are times when it's good to splash out, big meals, cars, man...

    Should I feel sad

    Hey all, not sure whether to respond to everyone individually (is there a protocol for that) but many thanks for all the responses. I have found that there are good days and bad days and the the best thing is to keep busy. The bad days I always get through so I'm comfortable with that...
