I think it depends on your financial situation. If you retire and live mostly off SS you’ll probably be bored cause you’ll be stuck at home a lot.

If you saved and have the means to travel and experience things you never got to do due to work then probably won’t miss working

This, if you have plenty of money you'll probably enjoy retirement and not be bored. If money is going to be tight, you may not enjoy it. Double, triple check the numbers, buckle down and pay off any non secured debt, save as much money during your last few years while working.

No.. regardless of finances.. sleep when you want.. poke around the yard….

First thing I did was think back to when I was a pre teen.. before alcohol.. cars etc.. and said what did I like best about those years because man they were great.. I do a lot of the same.. bike ride.. walk in the woods..goofy hobbies.. rock stuff.. plants.. started learning carnivorous plants.. life is good.. travel some but I did a lot of that for work.. I do domestic and nature but my wife usually will do a Europe trip with others..
