20 Things To Do When You Retire

Finally! You have worked hard your whole life, every day busting your butt so you have things taken care of like bills, bills and more bills. Well the time has finally arrived for you to retire and start having some well deserved fun. Are you thinking well what the heck can I do now that I am retired? Do anything that you want to, you have earned it. Now this does not mean that you can not get a part time job if you want so you are not bored but it is not necessary that you do so. I am going to post a list of 20 things to do when you retire. Maybe some of these suggestions will inspire you to go and do them. This is your time to do as you please and just live your life to the fullest.

One thing to remember though is yes have a good time and live life, but also make sure you do not go crazy with it and in the end wind up stuck with no money and a great deal of bills to pay. I have seen it happen before and it is not an easy thing to fix once it happens. Make a budget up first, pay everything that needs to be paid then go and do things that you have been waiting to. I do not want to see anyone in a terrible situation like that.

List Of 20 Things To Do Once You Retire

1. Live life but do it carefully Yes you worked hard for every penny you saved. Go out and have a good time but budget your spending. You have to make that money last. Live on a budget.
2. Get A Motor Home - parks, camping, long lost relatives, old friends, long hiking trips, back packing in the woods. And since you have purchased your mobile home everything will be right at the tip of your fingers
3. Travel - Now that you are retired why not travel the world? Go to all of the places that you have always wanted to. What is stopping you. Go visit Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Hawaii, India, Greece and maybe even stay for a few months.
4. Remodeling Change your home around. Are you tired of seeing the same house and the same look for over 20 years or have things started to fall apart with age. Time to change things up a little bit. Remodel your home. Maybe have a pool or jacuzzi installed. Or a wrap around deck. Change one of the rooms in your home to maybe a knitting room, music room, exercise room, or even make it into a room all dedicated to a pet you have. Maybe a cat or dog room. You can even go outside and make new flower beds and do a bunch of different gardening. Maybe make a pond or waterfall to make your yard just that touch more beautiful. Add dozens of flowers, trees, shrubs, or even give yourself a paved driveway with designs.
5. Business Are you an amazing baker, cook, beautician, mechanic or anything else you may have a big interest in. Start your very own small business or if you have the means go all out.
6. Job If you become bored and do not have things to fill in time get a part time job. Find something that you know you will enjoy doing.
7. Volunteer You can find a soup kitchen, nursing home, day care, preschool, homeless shelter or anything else that you will enjoy doing and volunteer your time to them
8. Sports If you are still in great health maybe find a sport you enjoy doing and either be a manager of the team or be a player on the team.
9. Charity You can either join a charity committee or start your own organization. There are so many different things you can do to help others in need or a cancer charity, something for babies, animals, for any kind of diseases, rain forest, homeless and the list just keeps going
10. Fitness You can start going to a gym, working out at home, you can even take up being another persons personal trainer. Another great thing you can do is hold classes in your home with friends and host workout gatherings. Try yoga, karate, ti quin doe or whatever you wish.
11. Join a group You can join a clubs such as a book club, sewing, knitting, sports or scrap booking club. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, don't fret, there are a million trypes of clubs you can find to join after you retire.
12. Pick up something new Learn a new hobby, like dancing, singing, sewing, roller skating, sky diving, skiing, snow boarding, or bungee jumping and these are just a few of the many things you can do or even do all of them if you want
13. See family Go and visit your family. See relatives you have not seen in a long time. Spend some time finally getting the chance to relax and enjoy each others company.
14. Car Get yourself a new car. Maybe treat yourself to that nice sports car you have always dreamed of. Or if you enjoy antique cars get one. If you want to go out on a limb get your self a motor cycle. You desire it and worked so hard for it.
15. Move Start a new life in a whole new area. If you have lived in the same area for a long time, maybe a change is just what you need to start living life! Move to your dream place.
16. Friends Spend time with friends that you have lost touch with and have fun doing so. Host a big party at your home or go out with them to a nice fancy dinner and movie.
17. Write a book If you enjoy writing or typing, perhaps write a book on your life, or a mystery, horror, children, science fiction, history or even a comedy
18. Learn a new language Study a language you may have wanted to learn. Go online, book stores, or a community chat and pick up a new language
19. Get married all over again If you and your spouse are still together or they are still alive have a second wedding and renew your vows. This is always a very romantic thing to do. Plus all of your family and friends will just love the fact of seeing it happen all over again
20. Nothing If you just want to loaf around and relax then do it. If you want to sleep until noon then veg around, you can. You have earned the right to just sit around and do absolutely nothing at all
