Retirement is grand if you have a life. I am only having one problem and that is figuring out how I ever found time to hold a full time job. If you are planning to retire and sleep till noon then sit in a rocker the rest of the day then it will be boring unless you like soap operas. Retirment has given me the time to do the things I want to do full time. I set my alarm for 6:30 AM Mon. through Fri. which allows me to get up and get started. I am currently building an all steel roadster pickup from flat sheet metal, if all goes well it will be on the road this summer. I have built many cars but never had the time to completely build the entire body from scratch. The p/u is powered by a ford 4 cyl with a five speed and a ranger rear end. It may see a turbo next year. As long as you can still dream there is no reason to be bored even if age slows you down it just means that you get to spend more time on your hobbies for less money per day. Also retirement gives you the time to meet new friends and see new places even if the new places are just around the corner you used to fly past on your way to work. Another nice thing is if I get bored I can fire up the old Plymouth and go cruising any time I want to (if my wife will let me, she say I can be boss as long as I do what she wants me to)
