Being retired for some years perhaps my post is not worth much. I have had a plan for both the financial and activities in retirement.
The financial plan worked fine, the activities not so much. The financial plan has been reduced due to Covid and I bet due to say Biden in the future. That said we will be fine but somethings will be eliminated.
Activity plan as follows:
Move to Florida - Finally worked took somewhat longer than it should because I refused to own two houses at the same time.
In Florida live a more active life especially in the winter - Partially worked as I now have a pool to do my pool therapy in. Partially not due to decline in my physical conditioning. I was thinking of getting a tricycle but if I bought it and did not use it that would be very bad.
Be nearer some relatives to do things with them. Mostly failed due to Covid and the relatives insisting on their political views. I had planned to visit some things in Florida but Covid, its financial impact, and my lessened ability to walk stopped that.
I also thought I could do some consulting. This worked only a minimal amount before I moved, nothing now.
I have a variety of interests that I still do and some that I have taken up due to Covid and politics reducing some.
I read quite a bit, Kindle Unlimited works there for me.
I do internet stuff, Gators, news from various locations, and advice columns.
I watch and follow various business type shows like Varney, Maria, etc.
I have made some history of myself and my family documents. Places I have lived, visited, family tree, etc.
I started watching old TV shows, Gunsmoke, Adam-12, etc. (As an aside I saw episode 1 of Gunsmoke and saw it had an introduction from John Wayne which I enjoyed).
I belong to several local facebook groups to keep up on things that are happening in SW Florida.
I also enjoy animated series for children (yes I know) there are several that I watch regularly.
I am in charge of our investments, paying bills and keeping us solvent, that takes some time each week.
Due to Covid I do all the shopping.
If this helps I appreciate it, if not that was my expectation.
