What are you going to do with your time? That is the question you have to answer. If you really want to retire then I would consider a job in probably another field or maybe start your own business. You can't watch TV all day for the next 40 or 50 years.
I guess I am lucky because I can not even comprehend the above post. What will you do with your time? There is not nearly enough time in the day for me to do all the stuff I enjoy. The question I constantly ask myself is how the hell did I manage to get by when I had to spend all that time working? The only time I ever got bored in retirement was during the winter up north. The Villages solved that problem. My new full time job is staying as physically active as possible to help slow the aging process and keep in good shape. I will admit that if my health failed, and I couldn’t be physically active, I would get bored real fast. It is a very rare occasion for the TV to get turned on before it gets dark outside, and there are many days it never goes on.
