Well Jace, lets see if I can put my perspective on the issue of retirement.
SOME of the people I know who are retired feel the same as you described
MOST of the people I know who are retired love being retired
My own perspective on future retirement
Yes, for a couple of years money will be less, but some bills will be lower.
1. New heating and cooling system installed is already lowering bills
2. New Windows installed are already lowering bills
3. Car is a Honda CRV, TERRIFIC MILEAGE
4. Truck is a V6, TERRIFIC MILEAGE
5. Changed phone/internet service to a money saving service
Things to do
1. Grandkids to see more often
2. Paid for Bass Boat ( Old but reliable)
3. Old "79" Corvette ( wanna buy it?) to piddle with if I don't sell it
4. Home remodel. FREE LABOR! I never found ANYTHING I couldn't build ( over 40 years in construction, I kinda picked up a few lessons on things)
5. Tools to build fishing rods ( fun hobby)
6. A basement full of wood-working tools to enjoy ( amazing the things one can build with free scrap wood)
7. A lake place to go to
8. Bags full of Cameras ( fun Hobby)
9. Almost paid for Pontoon boat to enjoy
10. Welding and cutting tools ( who knows, I might become a famous metal artist)
11. Friends who might need something repaired at their homes (will work for beer)
12. Fishing
13. Fishing
14. Fishing
15. Good eyesight to check out Lady's Swimsuit Fashions ( fun hobby) FREE!
16. Fishing
17. Spinner-bait and jig molds to make my own ( fun hobby, free lead)
18. Intentions to get into gardening
19. Fishing
20. Wife to keep my ears occupied
BUT....... If I should get bored or require fun money (or want to escape having my ears occupied),, contacts made that will hire me on a part time basis.
21. Almost forgot,, voracious reader.. BOOKS to read! (considering a kindle, running out of shelf space)
Feel free to pass this list on to those retired people you know who need something to do
