Norm99: Here's some free advice!
Get afuckin hobby!
I know this will make your life fulfilling and diminish your "off your assing".
I have MANY hobbies and enjoy my retirement to the utmost.
Sheesh.
I do hope you have lots of "time left" and that your attitude will improve with interesting hobbies being added to your regimen.

Most financial planners will tell you wait they want more money in their pocket OK. Is that what yours is doing?

My daughter asked me,"Daddy,what do you do all day now that you've rerired ?"
My answer,"whatever the hell i want !" At 70 YO, I still work, enjoying what I do. But, your answer totally fits my lifestyle. That is exactly what I do now - other than Doctor's appts & a few "honeydews".  PS I figure as long as I can get on a good horse, I'll be enjoying my life.

I retired 11+ years ago, three days before my 61st birthday. Zero regrets, absolutely zero.

I've been thinking about retirement from the heavy excavation business but then I'll just stay home and farm all the time and I actually work harder at home than at work...
