Man, that's rough.

When I retire, I hope that I have found a purpose by then and I don't pop into my former workplace because I'm metaphorically lost and don't know what to do with myself.

I don't think that's the book on you man. I've watched my Dad do almost nothing for 30 years since retirement. I'm gonna consider myself warned.

I hope to retire before I start to deteriorate so I can enjoy it. rather than spend it in medical offices. Problem is.... my career is only 2 years old and I'm 53...... why yes, I am on it... I let them know from the get-go I don't have time to fuck about. My boss is listening.....

I'm glad you're grabbing your moment.

I had this conversation with my cycling buddy this afternoon. He retired from teaching 6 or 7 years ago. He's been kept overly busy by his handyman gig ever since. Somehow he has finally realized his mortality. He's going to start taking his SS and wind down his gig so he can do the fun stuff he meant to when he retired. He pointed to his kayak hanging on the wall, "That hasn't moved in 3 years."
