I was able to retire at 61 after working in industry for ~40 years. I formed my own consulting company and work on projects with people I enjoy working with. I fish in the ponds, play in a billiards league, play water volleyball 3-4 times/week. We joined a few social clubs. I have no interest in golf at this point. I enjoyed playing pickleball, but I am no longer "authorized" (by the boss
to play. During our morning coffee while reading the paper and watching the news, my wife will ask me what's on my schedule--my reply is "I'm booked" -translation, no time for the honeydo list. I also go to the Seabreeze gym every day. We are thoroughly enjoying TV!
