? Why? There are a few replies on a topic about retirement, mostly from some older people with some experience of it. Unsurprisingly.
Being retired; painful

I dunno...people will continue to get old, when I fall off my perch it'll be filled by another.

Yes, but YBW did try to accommodate the topics ɓy revamping to set up the lounge and satisfy the scutbuttlers complaints.

ISTM that the trick with grandchildren is to be too far away to be on constant call for babysitting duty, but close enough to see them when you want to.

Fantastic. Hoping to move my contessa 32 to nearer our house near carnac when the refit is finished.

No Being retired is fabulous! We moved to a much cheaper location and scored a waterfront home with its own boat ramp and jetty pocketing a large amount of cash from the move! 
We are in Australia and moved from ridiculously expensive NSW to South Australia.
Our retirement home here in SA cost around the same as the worst freestanding home in the worst suburb in Sydney. A modest home in a regular suburb was over twice what we paid!
Our cruising yacht (trailerable) now lives on the drive next to my workshop or on our pontoon in the backyard. Man cave my partner calls it as I hide away doing maintenance and modifications in preparation for our next extended cruise.

You also now qualify buying a two seater sports car.
It can only be used on Sunday mornings though.
Cheeseburger hat and string backs optional.
