I hear ya. I used to work in a bank branch, and we'd have this old timer come in every week wearing either A) Cubs jersey, shorts, and sandals (with socks) or B) Cubs hat, bears jersey, and jeans. He never wanted any help, he just liked to wander around and read the random signs in our building. He was completely coherent, and a really nice guy. He retired from working for the city and just enjoyed walking around downtown people watching. That's how I imagine my retirement. Doing whatever I want, when I want, and raking in the senior discounts everywhere I can.ZWICK 4 PREZ;1791385 wrote:I thought for sure my dad would. He had most of his friends still working. I figured he'd be back in at least part time because they needed him. He's never set foot in the building since... not even to visit. Surprised the hell out of me. They're always traveling somewhere, whether a vacation or just to visit my sisters and their kids. So far this year alone they've been to Cabo and Europe on the viking river cruise. Going to San Fran in July like they do every year since it's his favorite city. They have a cabin at lake erie in geneva on the lake that they spend a ton of time at in the summer. I can hardly get time to golf with him anymore.
To me, thats what you do in your 60's.. not work.

He lasted about 4 years of doing part time contract work, until he said F this and started traveling with my mom.

I'll be retiring at 40.
I bought stock in cat food. As a shareholder, I'm very interested in taking care of the Boomers!QuakerOats;1791420 wrote:Nah; you need to keep working to take care of the boomers, remember .........
I am all for my in-laws retiring/becoming snow birds....but hopefully out west since Florida is the worst state in the US, bar none.4cards;1791509 wrote:...I'm a couple years away from retirement and I want NO part of going to work EVER AGAIN. The plan is to move south (Sarasota area) and get out of the Ohio winters forever & if people want to come visit....great. I'll keep a place up here to visit my kids & hopefully grankids during the rest of the year. I have no need nor desire to work again just to keep from getting board!!!

No.ZWICK 4 PREZ;1791520 wrote:Florida has oceans and warm weather. Any negatives associated with Florida are far outweighed by that, especially compared to Ohio.
and about a million great golf courses.Automatik;1791521 wrote:Warm weather and oceans don't make up for the citizens of Florida. Decent place to visit though.
West is the way to go.
Is it the age of the residents? I've never had a problem with anyone down there.Automatik;1791524 wrote:Hence why I said, "decent place to visit."
It would take a lot of money for me to live there permanently.
...could be the location also. I've had friends who were down in the Tallahassee area who moved back north because it wasn't what they thought it would be in one of those retirement communities but where I've looked at along the west coast I've met nothing but nice people and plenty of golf to be played there.ZWICK 4 PREZ;1791528 wrote:Is it the age of the residents?
