I learn songs on my acoustic guitar. I listen to music on my stereo and occasionally attend live performances. That has become a good avenue to meet people, that have become pretty good friends. I walk on local nature trails and ride my bike. I like to leisurely shoot basketball shots every now and then. There’s always house projects and maintaining the yard and gardens. Car projects were a hobby, but I’m winding that down since it’s getting harder to work under the hood, or beneath the car these days. Spending time with elderly mother, and my sons. I’ve started trying my hand at building an audio amplifier from a kit.
I play video games on my gaming computer. Guild Wars 2, and Elder Scrolls Online. Play them with other retired friends, talking on headsets and playing the game together. Been having a blast. What is amazing is how time flies by so fast that you wonder where all of it went. Why didn't time do that when we worked hard all day? lol. Great video, have a great day!
I’m retired and dont miss my job at all, not interested in part time work. Easy to find things to do. Don’t waste your retirement days, once they are gone , they’re gone, you’re not getting them back. Life is short before you start having health problems.
I’m with you as far as not missing my job, I’m retired too, retired in 2022, almost 2yrs ago (public transportation) and military service before then, l have plenty to do in retirement, some hobbies l was doing before l retired ie fishing, learning guitar and bass guitar, l more time for those hobbies etc, glad to hear someone else say they don’t miss their job, l would consider a part time job, but I’d CERTAINLY be PICKY, let me add l wouldn’t be overly concerned about how much it pays, I’d be more concerned about what hrs and days I’d be working, No weekends, Holidays, maybe 3 days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 9am-1pm, so yeah I’m with you, l did real good financially from yrs of working, it wasn’t always easy, you certainly have to put up with a lot to have a career, l did my part to get along with coworkers, management even if l didn’t agree with management decisions etc, l have fond memories of some of the people l worked with, we shared stories on our job experiences-laughs- l had a family member tell me that if l don’t have to work then don’t, also a friend told me that too, so l say again there is plenty for me to do, fishing, exercise, etc-before l retired there were coworkers who retired and come back to work part time, to each his/her, not me, but I’ll never say never, I’ll say l wouldn’t want to-a lot of long days and nights working for decades, retirement didn’t come overnight, I’m in a position where l can give assistance to those who are still working, I’ve told a family member if they ever need a ride to work let me know, etc. l really enjoyed reading the various comments on retirement
Age discrimination Bigtime re retired folks. Health destroyed by 12 car wrecks and 5 strokes in 4 years. No vehicle, can't drive, barely can walk cause of equilibrium issues. Ain't life Grand? Not. Glad I took long distance trips when I was younger after hearing seniors say they shouldn't have waited to retirement age to take trips cause now they're too disabled to do so. The trips were great And affordable on even the pittance I got employment wise. Now I exist in the wilderness on half SS ( damn govt blatantly lied as to what I'd get once I reached FRA. Never Ever trust the damn govt. Am praying God puts them out of biz. Perhaps in the pol climate now that may soon happen.
Those are some good suggestions. I'm getting close to retirement and I probably will be getting a part-time job, I've already started Spanish lessons. Thanks for the encouragement encouragement.
Volunteer with Scouting America. Today the youth are boys and girls on the path to Eagle Scout. Merit Badge Counselors are very useful. There are HUNDREDS and these help scouts explore hobbies, outdoor skills, and career interests. Get involved. Watch others at merit badge clinics. Get the required training. There is nothing more satisfying than helping to build a scout.
My wife's health was very poor, and she was only alive because she received a kidney transplant. About a year ago, she began hitting the gym in the afternoon. She's slimmed down some, built up muscle tone, and has a much more positive attitude! And she no longer talks about what she wants me to do after she dies!
I’ll be coming up on 2 yrs retired(December 2024) plenty to do, reading, yard work, errands, exercise, ie walking or riding my bicycle, practicing my guitar, and bass guitar, took up bass ago a year ago, I’m not bored, l have the flexibility to take family members to their errands,appointments etc- l don’t miss my job (career) at all, l put in the long hrs and years to get to this point, this is the time l can stay up to watch SNF, MNF, TNF, without having to be concerned about going to work the next day- bored NOT HARDLY!!!!
In retirement, most days are so busy that I go to bed exhausted. I have a house and a big lawn to look after. There are great restaurants in my town. There is grocery shopping. Car care, dog care, etc.....When I find time, my wife and I like to travel. How can anyone get "bored"!
I plan on working job I like at reduced hours. Will put a small percentage away to add to Emergency fund to make it bigger and rest is for fun and a few casino trips a few times a year
In 2005,I told a 77 year old co-worker who refused to retire because of boredom to become a compulsive gambler. You may be broke but you'll never be bored.
What part of the panhandle are you in? Born in Pampa, grew up in Big Spring, and went to Tech 👆. I just retired a month ago after 34 years working on the gulf coast. So far, so good, but still trying to figure it out. Thanks for the suggestions. 👍
Yeah, wish l would stayed single, not bored in retirement, I’m learning guitar, bass guitar, read, errands, yard work, CHURCH, fishing etc so I’m not bored, only would consider working part time ONLY!!!!
My husband and I have been retired almost 10 years now and have yet to be bored. We travel a lot but when we’re home we also have a routine that ensures we’re exercising and eating well regularly. We hang out with friends occasionally but (believe it or not) we actually prefer each other’s company. Watching tv is fine but don’t let it take over your day to day.
Dont preach on something u dont do yourselve. Hate vloggers that talk about something and make it sound like they r d expert, but all their data is merely copied from other you tubers. B original and talk on your experience, not on d experience of others😂😂😂😂
Interesting, this is not a vlog. It is intended as news and information. Personally I get much of my information from AARP, US news and Boldin. Have a great day

Going into my 2nd year of retirement. So far napping is my favorite hobby. Eventually I'll do more but I'm not in a rush.
Take your time😂 you earned it! Have a great day

My woodworking projects and painting will be very therapeutic and meaningful for me I'm hoping
Sounds like you have a plan Sherman!

Im not planning on reentering the work force once i retire. Making other ppl rich doesn't appeal to me. Cant wait to retire! Great video. Cheers!
Have a great day, hopefully I just need income to increase my travel finances

Thank you for sharing, that sounds like a great way to donate time!
A gym membership is great to have and always something to do. It also lowers your energy costs at home when you take your long hot showers there.
Thanks for sharing Mary, have a great day!

I’m actually feeling the same with all the small projects and keeping up with the RUclips channel.
Fostering pets is a win-win for all! The shelter provides food, medical & shots so bring ‘em the Love! 💜
Good for you Laura! Have a great day

Now that sounds like a plan😃

Have a great day!!
Yes, find something to do, learn to draw, paint, fishing, exercise etc

I live in Stinnett, lived all over the US before settling down here 25 years ago. Worked in the refinery in Dumas. Thanks for stopping by!
Woodworking is pretty darn expensive too! Ask me how I know. Ask my wife😂
I bet it is up front with the tools, thanks for stopping by the channel.
Yes Single and retired is for me!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by the channel Steve!
Absolutely like this guy talking,do something move your ass
Hi Suzy, thanks for stopping by the channel.
Cooking is NOT a hobby. On the other hand, Amateur ("ham") radio is. You'll learn tons.
I have to disagree, in Texas grilling and BBQ are serious hobbies😂. “Ham Radio does sound like fun! Have a great weekend Howard.
Pickle ball = the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
😂😂 good to know, have a great weekend
