- Finish filling up passport, just travel. Eat good food in other countries. Try my damndest to not make babies in said countries.
- When I'm done with that, I'll come back and coach little league. Give back where I can / want. Plant a strawberry patch. And or be cmyx6go 's pool boy. If there's no pool? Yet another retirement project. Build her a pool and then be her pool boy. - Watch movies in bed with all day with wtwo3 's in-laws. Hopefully it's not Lifetime movies. - Save ASBSECU E93's barnyard animals from becoming pot pie. - Do nothing if I want and do anything if I want. |

That's a black hole man.... you might never get out. But at least you'll be well versed in South Asian movies.

On a serious note, there is a great need for volunteer work for all sorts of things: food banks, animal shelters, and so much more.
Does your local co-op need volunteers/members? How about volunteer consultant? Two guys who were struggling with their small business many years ago, got hooked up with a retiree volunteer consultant, who gave them some guidance. Decades later, I'm about to eat some of Ben Cohen's and Jerry Greenfield's ice cream. I would be content to keep doing what I do until I die of old age, health and such permitting. I probably won't be able to do so. We'll see.

I heard there's good money in raising Peruvian Racing spiders, then selling their ground up eyebrows to epoxy manufacturing companies.
Small foot print, anyway.

I didn't read this whole thread so forgive if it's a duplicate. I want my retirement job to be driving the safety car for F1 races. I'll also settle for the safety car driver for MotoGP as well. Hey, why not aim high?

That sounds more like a dream job than a retirement job. Wonder how much they're paid. And what the barrier of entry is.

I joined SCORE which is a volunteer mentoring organization for start-up businesses and people wanting to start a business. Almost through the training and “ride-along” mentoring sessions.

1. Pool boy.
Not because I watched the toxic avenger… and felt inspired. In the movies the pool guy is usually minding his own business and in a world of his own. Looks relaxing. To me at least. 2. Walmart Security Guard. I have it my head they must see a lot of funny stuff. |

I'll have plenty of money, but I get bored easily. I think I will be able to keep myself busy for 6-12 months, but then I'll get bored. I'm not a guy who can fish/golf/hunt/bowl/etc every single day.
When I go to Home Depot (etc) - I love those old guys walking around. The difference in those and the younger people is astounding. The difference is one HAS to be there and one WANTS to be there. Many probably had jobs like mine their whole life where you are dealing with issues all day and constantly being asked what to do and how to fix an issue. Having "How long do you need me to cut this board?" being that absolute ONLY thing on my mind from moment to moment would be an amazing feeling. I could see me doing something like that 2-3 days a week just to keep me sane. "Nails? Isle 7" "Sure I can get that down for you......" "Take this cart and put shit back where it belongs? You bet."

homestead, farm, buy dilapidated buildings and fix them up to resell. Retirement should be the slow life and doing things that are fun but don't pay money. Go fish, golf and poker with the homies. Road trip in the USA and same internationally.

I tried selling the dealership on that one at 18 - it was a real moment of dis-inspiration. I basically told the manager 'nobody here knows a/t about cars, and they care even less'. Laughed me off the lot, but at least told me why. Turns out they actually want somebody who is hungry to make sales and DGAF about what they are selling.

I've also learned over my years of experience.... you shouldn't be honest in an interview for something you actually want.... you should tell them what they want to hear. While being passionate about something is all butterflies and sunshine, it doesn't mean squat if they're not convinced you'll be able to translate that passion into results. A dealership won't want to hire me because I'm passionate about cars... they want to hire me because I'll bring in money. How I go about bringing in that money is between me and myself (as long as it's legal).
