Back to thread topic - Personally I hope to never fully retire, but keep working in a job I enjoy. But I have that luxury because I will be inheriting some wealth, not a lot, but enough to be comfortable.

I think it is very important to stay busy during retirement, and there are many ways to do this. For me, I manage a website for our RC club. Also, I still very much enjoy my hobby of building RC aircraft, flying them, modifying them, upgrading them, etc. About every 3 or 4 years, I treat myself to a new gaming computer - always build my own computers from components.
In addition to staying busy, I think it is equally important to allocate time and place for a bit of solitude. I have a favorite extra patio on a hillside and under our oak tree where I read, enjoy my kitty and views, plus soak up a little sunshine. Later, I take a dip in my spa, even if its raining. Good for the soul, good for the joints, plus enjoy the clouds, birds, yard.
