You may have had dreams of travelling the world your whole life. What's to stop you from doing it now that you are retired? Throw a few things together and see what you can do about it. Live your dreams.
Your overall health is important at any time of your life. In retirement, it is even more so because you are not getting as much exercise as you once used to, and your body may soon begin to complain about it in no small way. That is why you want to use that time to work out as often as possible, and see the doctor regularly about what you can and cannot do.
Lots of people dread getting old and retiring. This should not be so, and if they had good plans for that time of their lives, they wouldn't fear it so much. Instead of living in fear of the inevitable, you should embrace it and see to it that it pans out the way that you want it to be, and not just anyhow. You will find that you love every minute of the experience.
You know why retired folks like people around them? It's because life gets boring after a while. Rather than follow the same trend, do things now to see that your own retirement is a lot more fun that itching to have people around you.
There is no reason to become a recluse simply because you are retired. You should get out there and mix with people. You'd be intrigued with how much fun you can have when people suddenly brighten up because you walked into a room, and they are eager to have you back on the morrow. There is nothing quite like it.
If you ever had dreams of running for public office, why not do so now? Make something of your retirement years, and let the world learn to appreciate you still. You may not make Capitol Hill, but you can be Mayor of your county. Ok, so they think you are too old to be Sheriff? Well then, how about a senator. There is so much you can do to make retirement count for you.
How about a safari? Hey, it's your retirement, isn't it? And you can do anything! Bring on the safari!
Once you're retired, your time is sincerely your own to do with as you please. I understand the drive and desire to do nothing for a while, but that is dangerous to you in more ways than one. Instead, you should see that you get some activity through your system every day.
Don't just put money away for retirement; try your hand at investments to. By the time the day eventually comes when you can no longer earn the conventional way, you'll be glad you did all those investments at the time that you did. Then you will never have to depend on anyone to make provisions for you at that time of your life.
When you need to grab a daily paper, you could try jogging into town rather than driving in. What else do you get to do in retirement? Try to get some life back in those bones by doing more activity without relying too much on machines to make things happen for you. That way, you will that you retain the freshness in your bones a lot more easily
