While retirement is something basically everyone looks forward to, for some people, it’s an experience that leaves them thinking they’ll be bored without a job to go to every day. But that couldn’t be farther from the truth! Without a job taking up most of your time during the week, you have the chance to fill your schedule with fun activities and keep busy in retirement!
Learn a New Language
Have you always wanted to fluently speak Italian or Mandarin? Take a couple of hours a day to pick up the language.
Go Fishing
Dust off your old fishing pole and bucket hat, and venture out to the high seas to catch yourself some dinner.
Volunteer
Whether it be helping people, animals, or the environment, charitable giving can give you a great sense of fulfillment and happiness.
Take a Road Trip
No more worrying that you have to be back to work. You can take every road trip you want — go across state lines, or get an RV, and go across the country!
Become a Better Cook
Sure, you could make basic dishes before, but you can keep busy in retirement by taking cooking classes and improving your skills to rival those of an iron chef.
Start a Book Club
This can go one of two ways — you and your group can actually read the books, or you can just drink wine and gossip. Either works.
Adopt a Pet
A pet will keep you plenty busy since they’ll need a lot of love and care. Plus they’re great for companionship.
Go Back to School
Want to finish a degree or earn an entirely new one? You’ve got plenty of time to do so — and you might even get discounted tuition or special financial aid as a senior.
