It's bout doing everything you really want to while you can still physically, move around, drive around, and travel without medical restriction.
Also with just having time, find shit you enjoy. Fishing and gardening has been he'd could finally find time to do. My dad basically worked 50-55 hours a week raising 3 kids for like 25 years...he'd didn't have time for hobbies or hanging with friends.

Same here. I exercise every day and do little pet projects around the house ,as for travel I have done some ,Canada for two weeks last summer and to NC twice to see the kids and I'm going to the Berkshires of Mass in three weeks.Thing is many of my friends can't retire and my wife (of 38 years) is a teacher and is still working.It's all good. Again best of luck in the new jobs.
