> I'm yet to meet anyone retired who says "I wish I was still working". Quite the opposite in fact. My brother and I both shared a fear that our father would waste away and die after retirement (he is extremely driven). It turned out that he “never has enough time” for all the projects he creates for himself post-retirement. He wrote a book, researches the family tree, travels, etc. It was surprising how much he wants, and finds ways to, remain active. I don’t think we were wrong to expect him to need an outlet. We simply did not anticipate that he would create his own.
