                Work is valuable but that doesn't mean working for someone, if you don't need to. A lot of people retire then end up busier than ever working on their own business. Others become dedicated volunteers or take up a hobby as a 'job' e.g. music or writing or painting. Or study for its own sake, effectively becoming armchair academics.

                Sitting doing naff all would soon become dull but all you need is a bit of land and maybe a few animals and you will never have time to be bored! A couple I know both 70ish work virtually full-time on their wonderful garden most of the year - it's like a show garden!
