I don't know what your acquaintances are like, but also (and not even talking about myself) anecdotally: my neighbor, a retired school principal, keeps himself busy with house projects, including building special-purpose furniture for his mother in assisted living, and volunteering. He definitely doesn't sit around watching Netflix.
