Work cures all ills. He's whining?? Put him to work! That'll shut him up.
I can't wait to retire. After the year I'm having thus far, I may just finish out this school year, I don't know. Everyone says, "you'll get bored" "you'll wanna work." I say, "wanna bet?" If I feel like sitting on my ass, I will. If I feel like keeping busy, I'll do that too, BUT work is Not fun and I will find another kind of busy.
But yea, there are those who simply must work or do worklike things....Me, I'm not one of them.

I retired at 54 and my wife a year earlier. The first year was filled with alot of activity, then the drop-off. Yes, it did become boring. You can only play with the grandkids so much and there are only a certainamoutn of things you always wanted to do. So, I teach to help take up the time. Still, there's alot of timeleft over. So think twice about retiring especially if you are in good health. My wife stays pretty busy with the kids, grandkids, and traveling. But I look for things to do to occupy me. Don't retire because you are tired; do it because it's the right time to do so.
