What are your goals after retiring?

[Gardenlover]

I'm sure we'll see a lot of "spend more time with family and friends" or "travel", but I'm looking for something outside of those two boxes.

Lately, I've been floundering from one day to the next and it is starting to wear on my psyche.

 

[Paco Dennis]

So do you feel like u would like to accomplish something. Get interested in a subject that u like and dive in. Maybe a little sky diving.

While floundering I usually are on the alert for anything inspiring...sometimes I just flounder and observe. I am more into floundering than accomplishing for my ego.

Everyone has different goals. You need to figure out what you want to do.

 

[JBR]

My goals include working with local/regional environmental groups (which has been my avocation for about 35 years). Also, to network with people who do various sorts of community work, not limited to environmental. And to become more active, once more, in non-fiction writing — which was for a stretch, about 20 years, my main money-earning work.

 

[jujube]

Honestly, one of my main goals was to be able to take a nap when I wanted.

 

[QuietByNature]

For me, I would like to spend more time in the garage working on my 58 Chevrolet. I have been neglecting it for far too long.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I’m content to be hangin’ in there.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

My goals are to revise songs already recorded and compose additional ones for my next album. It is also a necessary goal to get back to practicing (piano)to improve my technique so I'll be able to play on my son's tracks (he's already informed me to get ready). Another necessary goal...to get in better shape!

I've obtained it. A few years before I retired I amassed a huge collection of books and movies. I get up around 4 am, exercise, walking outside and watch international news then sit around in my boxer shorts all day and relax.

I've traveled all of my life and never lived anywhere for more than 3 or 4 years as an adult till I retired. I'm good with being lazy now.

Retirement doesn't sit easy with me. I remained at work for the first fifteen years of retirement age, but now the company insurers are frothing at the mouth that an eighty year old is still at work.
Each morning my wife and I share domestic chores, our's is a large house and keeping it clean is a daily task. Most days I will cook, that leaves my lady to indulge in her hobby of dressmaking. She is quite a talent as my collection of shirts, trousers and all are testament to.

Our social life still goes on, we are out to dances and various functions, all in the evenings. My free daytime is in the afternoon and often I will, weather permitting, go out in my 78 year old MG car. I like to dress the part too. Most days I still wear a collar and tie, or, if the sun has put in an appearance, I will wear one of the many Aloha shirts my wife has made for me.

Your car sounds like a dream. I have always admired MG's

 

[IrishEyes]

My plans I had hoped to travel and see where I have not seen has slowed
down to "drive roads you know and not make a drive last over 30 minutes"
So now:
Stay as healthy and active as is possible.
I am easy to please now it seems.

My old MG, does it look the part?
