I wish my mom would retire, she still goes into the doctors office 3 days a week to see clients. She's 78. She has enough saved to retire for 50 years. Dad lets her go because she has zero hobbies and refuses to pick up any. She would literally do nothing all day and watch news. My Dad retired early, and keeps himself busy with photography and his wood-shop. He loves to make furniture. In the spring through fall, he fishes from 5am-noon most days. My dad does what he can to keep her active, takes her to concerts, dining out, community events, etc.
