Retirement is what you make of it. I retired in 1996 at age 46. I hunt all I want in the fall and winter and crappie fish in the spring and summer. The wife and I travel some and I go on a western elk hunt every year. Find a few activities you are interested in and get busy. I retired from the Army and on the day of my out-brief a veteran doctor called all the 0-6s in a room and gave us a short lecture regarding lifespan after retiremen. He said statistics show if you sit in that recliner you'll be dead in 5 to 8 years. Best of luck in your retirement.
