I’ve been retired for 20 years. I still have a couple of hobbies. I buy a few things to keep me entertained. When I’m done with them I donate them to charity. I wear a Tee and Blue Jeans. They’re cheap, durable, easy care and comfy! I eat very little of the best food I can find. I drink clean plain water. I do not bust my a$$ doing stuff that just doesn’t pay off. No gain. No pain. The last trip out was a disaster. So we staycation and eat at our favorite 4 restaurants. We take good care of our grand kids and help them with their cars. I’m too old to putter in the yard. We pay somebody to mow and trim. Have a nice day!

65. My last day at "real work" is May 31, four US work days away. As you state, this is going to be my own personal "Final Act" and it's gonna go down how I want it to. My GAS factor (Give A S___) started winding down much more quickly over the past year, although it's been sloping down for years now. I can NOT WAIT until Monday, June 3, when I awaken at my usual time -dictated by my annoying second/back-up dog - and I do not have to cram everything I want to do - or be lazy AF all day - into two days a week. I've worked remote since the start of Covid. I truly think that blessing makes it so much easier to leave the work life behind. That and a team full of yes people and dolts has something to do with it, too... Thank you, as ever, for your refreshing and most-appreciated perspective!

I'm also 63, early retired at 55, gave up the suits and ties for baggy t-shirts and jogging pants, pretty much the American version of you. 😊 I enjoy your videos.

Love your message, thank you! My motto: Clearly define in your mind the people in your life whose opinions really matter. For me, that's my wife and my two boys. As a husband and father, I understand they hold me to a high standard, and I love that. If they are good with me, then I am good with me. If anyone else has a problem with me, that's their issue, not mine, and I waste no time worrying or even thinking about it. For me, counting summers, not years, drives home just how short life really is. At 57, if I'm lucky and take care of myself, I may have another 28 summers left in me, and I'm certainly not wasting a moment worrying about what others think.

When I retired the neighbours told me to get a job. They said I was a jobless layabout. Then the family joined in making me feel guilty. Unreal it was. Society forced me back into work. 🤷♂️

Good video. On music, our tastes are strikingly similar. I am 67, and I like The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars just as much as when I first heard it at age 16.

Good advice. I’ve only been retired for 3 years and what I found is you have to learn how to be retired. It’s not that easy after a lifetime of stress over making a living and raising the kids but I do enjoy have all my time to myself.

God knows, each to his own. And good luck to you mate! Whatever floats your boat. I suppose that if you have had tattoos all your life, then a few more will not hurt. Yet if I, at 59, told my children that i was about to have a tattoo, they would have a whip round to pay for somebody to have me taken out and shot. And they would be right. It seems to me that the essential problem with tattoos is that it demonstrates a sheer lack of imagination. For that eagle that you had tattooed on your back at 25 will, when in the Creaking Gates Old People's Home for the Bewildered, look either like a budgie or an albatross on steroids. Old age is undignified enough without exacerbating the problem with primitive artwork from a bygone era. But, I guess in terms of personal expression tattoos are rather like picking your nose. You have started, so you might as well carry on. Anyway, love the stuff you produce and all power to you old chap.
