Now That You’ve Got More Time, What Are You Going To Do With It?
Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world. Did you know that on average people worldwide are living six years longer than they were 20 years ago? Thanks to improved medical advances and declining tobacco use the average life expectancy for women in the United States is 81 and male life expectancy is 76.
So now that you’ve got more time, what are you going to do with it? If you are nearing retirement or have retired what creative and inexpensive activities would you like to do in your golden years?
Getting together with friends or neighbors visiting cultural sites, libraries, historic homes or museums or how about taking a Yoga or Tai Chi class to increase your flexibility.
Volunteering your services, participating in church or religious groups are also other great options. A lot of people actually fear retirement thinking they are going to be bored, but trying something new or doing something that you’ve always wanted to do can be both fun and exciting.
Have you ever wanted to write a book, sing, act, paint, or learn to play a musical instrument? Perhaps you would enjoy sharing your knowledge by teaching, writing a blog or in specialty cooking and baking. Local travel to neighboring states discovering what is in your own back yard can also be an inexpensive adventure.
No matter what you choose, if you start making a list now while you’re still working you’ll have more to look forward to when that great day actually arrives.
What is the one activity that you’ve always wanted to do but never had the time?
When I have more time? Seems I’m busier now than before…and that’s good 🙂
Yes, keeping your mind and body active is always a good thing! Hope you guys had a nice Father’s Day weekend.
Now that I am not gainfully employed (retired). I have all the time to do just what I want to. . . Hang out with my Mom, travel the caribbean every chance I get, party at the club and cruise the malls. I am a regular at the library and read about 2 books per month so, I am just as busy as I was before and love it.
I love it and I can’t wait to join the retirement club…I have 5 more years and I’m so there!!! Happy Monday.
As of right now, I plan on working as long as I can but when I retire, I would love to spend more time painting.
That sounds wonderful! Happy Monday.
Don’t you absolutely love that we all get more time. I just hope none of us waist it. Happy Monday beautiful.
No, each day is a new gift to share and enjoy. Happy Thankful Thursday!
