My wife and I have already started taking trips and seeing the world. We went to Venice and Greece back in June. In May we’ll be taking my son (who graduates from Clemson on May 9th) to London and Paris, and we are currently planning a trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons. We also just got an invite to go to Cancun with about 6 other couples for a surprise birthday celebration in October. We will continue to take both long and short trips over the next 8-10 years before we start to slow down. 60-70 is go time… 70-80 is slow time… 80+ is no time…
My 1st home projects after retirement are to replace the springs on the garage doors, reroof the screen porch, and then gut our existing bedroom closet and remodel it to my wife’s specifications. I hope that retirement is everything I expect it to be. I hope that our health will last a long long time. My parents are both 94 years old, so with my genetics and all the medical advances in the world, I see no reason I can’t live to be 145 to 150 years old.
