When I was much younger I would hear people say "one of these days - when I retire - I'm going to do (whatever)." I always thought that was a little weird seeing as how none of us are promised tomorrow - why in the world were all these people waiting to travel, or paint, or crochet, or make quilts, etc, etc etc. So I just did the things that interested me at the time. So now I am fully retired and the first 5 or 6 years were consumed with renovating the latest house (serious fixer-upper) and redoing the yard/gardens which had apparently been neglected for many years........ Now going thru a little "what's next" conundrum because I have also decided that I really don't want to be around people all that much anymore. I suspect this is why young people think old people are a mixed bag of nuts. hahahahaha

Try cannabis oil. No need to smoke it.

I talk to people all day everyday about retirement for my job. There seems to be a variety of emotions and attitudes toward stopping work and retiring. But one theme I do notice is so many people seem to be in a state of “What Now”.

You don't have to fully retire. Find your passion and pursue that instead of the competative world of sales.
