I retired from my own business and careers at age 62. I just turned 71.

Right after I retired, I had both knees replaced and had open heart surgery to fix a bad valve and repair four blocked coronary arteries. After healing up, the doc said I was good to go.

So I moved to Florida from Arizona and started raising Angus beef cattle on my farm.

I would never go back to working at a "job". It's over with. I stay busy and fit from working my cattle and maintaining the farm. I make some income from it but most of my SS and retirement checks are spent running the farm. It's my lifestyle now.

No hours. No boss. No dress code. No commute. I do what I want....or not. I've never been happier.

Find something you like to do and get involved. Stay busy and keep active. Working at a regular job just for work's sake is not the answer. Control your own destiny.

Nobody ever said on their death bed, "I wished I had worked more."

I can absolutely relate to that! It’s wonderful!
