Keep busy with something. The day a man retires is the day he begins to die. Always keep busy, just try to be happy about it & maybe take a slower pace.
A couple years back, I saw a really old woman slinging fries at McD's. She seemed happy enough, not destitute, this job was just something not too difficult to do to pass the time.
I'm more of a coffeeshop guy, myself. I could see myself doing that.
That is a bit of a worry. A big issue is that I really like to read. I already read kind of a stupid number of books. I have to not let that escalate too much when I'm not working 40+ hours a week.
"have to not let that escalate too much"
Why? You're retiring so you can spend time doing the things you like doing, you'll feel much more fulfilled if you do things you like with your time instead of forcing yourself to do something you don't enjoy...
Because reading a book is about the must sedentary thing there is, and I need to get out of the chair sometimes.
