Met with our financial advisor today and discussed retiring soon if financially feasible. So some homework to do on that. But this evening my wife asks me, 'what hobby are you going to do if you retire?' If I'm not working I spend time reading. Not much of a traveler. I've been working since I was 15. No clue what I would do.
If I could afford it, I would travel. I have rarely left the state of Michigan. We traveled out of state when I was a kid, but the only place I've gone as an adult was Las Vegas for a convention. I would love to get an RV and travel around the country. See the things I've always wanted to see.
Don't teach him bad habits
Maybe your first project will be rearranging the garage☺️😁
@A MyDepressionTeam Member I would also like to travel to places like Hungary the birthplace of my dad's Dad
I think this is very individual and person to person. What I would do is really throw myself into my hobbies and have fun with it. Maybe even teach classes on the ones I'm super good at to make some small amount of extra money. Government gives you details when you retire of how much you can make per month without losing benefits. So stick to those guidelines and have fun. I'd love to try new hobbies too. I used to paint and was pretty good at it. I'd like to go back to that. Fill your days with activities and people you love!
