Occasionally, I have had thoughts about no longer contributing, but then I put things in perspective. I was very good at my job, but I was never going to cure cancer or achieve world peace. The world will not know I retired. Initially, I missed contact with people who did what I did, a highly specialized financial job. The key for me was to get active. Actively search for activities, groups, clubs, sports, etc. that you might like. Today, I am 15 years into retirement, and I don't know how I found the time to have a job. It seems I search more for extra time than things to do. Not all of our activities rely on TV, but this is a great place to get involved. Good luck in finding what keeps you happy.
