Discussion of the Day
How do you spend/ wish to spend your time for your retirement?
Liam H 58208524-Feb-25
Is there concern that when we stop or don't have structure in our day, we lose sight of our purpose? What are some things you do or would do to structure your days and weeks?

    I would like to travel but have a 6 month old St Bernard so our traveling days are probably behind us.

      That's the trouble with pets! I'd love to travel but I have 3 cats and at least two of them are very attached to me haha so even leaving for a few nights is hard

      talk your cats in traveling. further than just out side your house. You know buy 3 containers and take them with you. that is if you have a car. Or even better teach a Neo robot to look after the cats. Cats wont get angry at neo robots as long as it feeds them.

      I am retired. I am attending college (online) - I should matriculate in June of 2026 with a BA in 2026 - if I am still above ground at that point. I travel (aboard) during the summer months (I reside in the Northern Hemisphere). Mostly, I enjoy being a LAZY BUM!

        Sounds far from lazy! I love people like you because you keep enjoying and living and learning throughout life. When you go home and sit in front of the tv for eternity you're already at the end! I love seeing 100 year olds go skydiving on the news! All of that is very inspiring and encouraging

          I've been reading a lot, streaming shows and movies on television, doing all kinds of puzzles, looking after my dog, and basically doing what I want when I want. I plan to go to St. Kitts in the spring of next year and put my dog in the care of her groomer for the week. Going with my favourite sister/friend; the one I do lunch with every 2 weeks. I'm truly enjoying doing what I like but I must get more active because the pounds are doing what they like and sticking to my gut.

                I lose no sight of those things. I work constantly and never have enough time for myself and struggle along, always wanting to achieve goals I haven't as yet. It's unlikely I'll make it to retirement age but if I did I look forward to being able to cook recipes I haven't yet tasted and ant to, to paint more again, watch movies and stream live music more(myself performing), so lots to fuill the time at that stage if I can get myself into a physical environment where I'll be able to live and do those things.

                                            Structure??? I spent just about my whole life with somebody else providing "structure" for me. I've earned the right to do whatever I want (as long as it's legal ;-))whenever I want to. Over the years I've collected up a whole house full of tools, toys, and hobby things so I can use them on my schedule, not anybody else's.

Like with 10 billion Neo robot Accounts in Addition to 3 hundred human accounts I think Rewardia would close down.

I would also like to travel and enjoy seeing places I've always wanted to visit. I would like to try out different types of ethnic foods combined with the atmosphere.

I walk along the beach most days, drink lots of beer and laugh a lot. Currently I am writing my third book. Life is awesome.
