been recently watching many retired people get depressed cuz they thought retirement was going to be ecstacy, but they soon run out of stuff to do.

what do u plan to do for a couple decades when u retire?

 

Golf. Lots and lots of golf. Also, I hope I can retire and have "a couple decades" to screw around before I die.

 

Ride and Tie, endurance riding (in particular, finishing the Tevis Cup), maybe some NATRC, cross-country riding all over the world (Scotland in particular), that sort of thing.

 

i plan on retiring at the age of 35 which is 10 years from now. i will probably just sell tacos and dj some techno beats in phuket. maybe start painting.

 

Drive my car alot. Bug the hell out of my kids/grandchildren.

 

I had more time to myself when I was working...Now I don't have time for crap...

 

tell young people stories about my youth whether they want to hear them or not.
complain about the youths of today and how easy they have it.
do so in an annoying high pitch throaty voice.

 

I'll probably still be playing.

The bassoonist in my quintet is 85, and his wife, our oboe player, is 79; and they still can hack it.

 

Buy a cabin in Big Bear, a mountain resort east of LA at 7,000'. Build a high deck and install an observatory dome and a pier-mounted 16" Meade LX200R Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. Do serious Astronomy every night. A 16" Meade LX200R Schmidt Cassegrain has twice the diameter of my 8":

 

walk around wal-mart in sweat pants, harassing young girls
