How will you stop yourself from going INSANE during your retirement?

[NoSavingByTheBell]

I have thought and thought about this for many years, and consulted with many retirees. It seems some choose to never stop working, and I am starting to believe this is the solution to avoid going nuts during your retirement. Hobbies were always the traditional mantra I remember hearing ad nauseum: have hobbies, it will keep you busy. But based on previous long vacations I have had, hobbies were never enough to prevent general feelings of not being productive, etc. So if you take up golf, or guitar, or exercise, I personally dont think it would be enough to keep one's mind fit and active.

What are all y'all's thoughts on "How to not go insane during retirement"? (And who will be the first to quip (I think I know!), "Hell, I got so many years left to work until retirement that I never even gave this shat a thought!" mwahaha ) ?

So whats the scoop, gents and gyals? Golf? Fishing? Bowling? Gardening? A salad mix of all of the above? Working forever?

Stay busy by helping family, volunteering to help people and keep active with regular exercise.

Yes volunteering is great. Not enough people go to poor areas and give their time. Once I retire or even beforehand, I will teach for free for the rest of my life in order to help people and be active and productive. We are going to Bhutan or Nepal to volunteer as soon as travel is more normalized.

X had a great one, until he used the adjective "frantic" -- this gives us all concern in so, so many ways lol

"Cocaine Eyes"

by Brooklyn Brockwurst

He snorted too much
And then he went Dutch
With black, sunken-in eyes
Like dark cloudy skies;

He really loves Torquay
But really's just a Turkey
All cottony and herky jerky
With clips on his nips, he's all dj perky.

Might move back to the West coast and become an Independent grower . I'm more on an introvert last number of years. Retirement feels like 100 yrs away. Shit I took days off a few months ago and by the 3rd I was Clorox wiping the ceiling fans, laying new carpet in the den and scrubbing the garage floor with a small hand brush . Wouldn't know what to do with months off.
