Learn to take care of the house. Learn to cook so she can come home to an amazingly healthy gourmet meal most days. Add on to the deck. Plant the garden you've always wanted. Volunteer your time in the community. Do all of those projects around the house that you've wanted to do for years. Find creative ways to spend all that retirement money! Plan vacations down to the detail. Most importantly, if you don't listen to any of my other suggestions, please listen to this one. Get out of the house at LEAST once a day. Find a local coffee shop to visit every morning. Become a regular and shoot the bull with the other locals. I've seen retirement become almost like a prison to some based on not following this one simple rule. You have to get out and interact with other humans on a regular basis or you'll start to shrivel up and age! Don't do it! Good luck and enjoy your retirement. Us 40 year olds are happy to see all of you boomers start to retire! Ahhhhhh the job opportunities...the move ups in senority....we're ready to be set! lol

Goodbye

Take up a few hobbies. Help out around the house with housework. Start daily exercises, a morning jog, or afternoon run. Work in the yard. Start some home improvements you've always wanted to do, but didn't have the time to while working. Spend time with your children or grandchildren (if applicable)

fix stuff around the house, work on your car, write a book, pick up a hobby like painting

Do some research on landscaping your yard, add a pond or what is called a relaxation place to the yard. My mom retired and she did research before hand and now has abeautiful pond and landscaped yard that she took her time with and now it has been 2 years and her yard is beautiful and keep her busy! Everyone love to set in her yard! Good luck

Anything just don't be on the couch sitting in front of the TV in your under-roos when she comes home.

That will really piss her off and then you may have to get another job because she kicked you out. Good Luck on finding an activity!

2. Read all the books you want!
3. Spend time on Y!A!!
4. Get a hobby (making birdhouses, cooking, gardening, golf)

Gardening, photography, take classes at an adult school, junior college. Go walking. Join a club. Become a gourmet cook. Do all the projects you thought about doing but were too tired to do after working all day. Volunteer - the library, zoo, museum, school, what ever is your strength, or what ever you would like to learn about, or something that is so the opposite of what you ever did. Travel, read, plan the great vacations for you and your wife (my husband was fabulous at this), play on the computer, go to the gym. Join a political group and play an active role. After about a month or so, don't let yourself sleep the day away. Get up and get dressed at a reasonable hour and organize your day to do the things you want. If you don't, you will find your day over with and you did nothing. If that is what you want, fine. But there are a lot of exciting things to get into. Good luck.

Learn a new skill/trade - construction, painting, cooking, etc.
Join the better business bureau and give advice to those who need it whom are trying to grow companies.

you need to figure out what you like and enjoy. if you like kids then be a big brother, volunteer at a youth group, hosp ect. find a part time job, get a dog (that is if you like animals) go back to college for something you enjoy, if you enjoy taking pictures take a photograpy class, learn to cook (the best way is jump right in and don't be afraid to use spices), woodworking. its really endless...you just have to find what you like.

Do *something*! My father in law has this problem, and it's pretty tough. He couldn't figure out what to do so he went and became a WalMart greeter. For the fun of it.

Sick Of Your Ish

Travel, home repairs, try a new hobby. And congrats to you! My father is getting ready to do the same.

Jami W

Well the obvious would be home repairs......painting, organizing etc.

You could catch up on a few good books.

You good be a good Samaritan and volunteer someplace. I personally think that this is the best idea, it gets you out of the house and your doing something great for the community.

Become a big brother.
