Retirement has been defined as "your second childhood without parental supervision." That is a bunch of horse hockey. Retirement is that season of life when you wonder how you ever had time to work. And, you start thinking about getting a job so you can get some rest.
I can’t put my finger on it, but something causes me to never have time to get things done and too many things have to be done now - a lot more than when I worked. Oh, for the good old days when I read the newspaper, watched a little TV and occasionally went out for rest and relaxation. Those days are gone. I am retired.
Retirement is like rasing children. There are no instructions and you have to learn as you go. And, you can’t ask someone, because they are as confused as you are. The only thing I have learned for sure is that retirement is not what you expect it to be. Ask, any retiree and they will likely agree.
I’m waiting for the second childhood part.
I never got through the first one.
