TWTD Retirees 16:01 - Oct 20 with 833 viewsFixed_It

Seeing Oldsmoker's reply to a thread earlier got me thinking. What do you retired folk do to occupy your time? Genuinely interested as retirement is not too far over the horizon.

Move the TV so the sun doesn't shine on the screen.
This is essential for all the daytime TV you will be watching.

Daytime TV is woeful, think I'd rather paint the turnstiles.

According to everyone I know who has retired, they are busier than when they were working!

If they're anything like the retirees around here, the things they are busy with include such thrilling activities as trying to pay by cheque in the Express Lane at the supermarket (with a pen that won't work).

I have found that membership to be very liberating.

Mountaineering, womanising, slow cooking, writing a novel, contemplating what to do with a chain saw and a welding machine when I buy them, reading heavyweight philosophy - just generally catching up with the things I should have done earlier in life.

If you’re planning retirement the best advice I can give you is to avoid the cliff edge of working one day, retired completely the next. Far better, if you possible, to scale back your working week to say 3 days, for a period, so you get used to the increased leisure time.

I’ve seen many people retire, using both methods, the latter produces a much better experience
