Hey, I work with retired people. I always tell them to answer this way ...
“Volunteer? Well, before I do any of that....need to take a year off and relax”
You can thank me later for that tip. They’ll be after you.
Thankfully this December will be my 15th year of retirement, so I've already got my own set of responses for people who try to bother me. Brought a lot of them with me from the job.
I'm into my sixth month of that. I sold my practice, house, and am housesitting for an elderly couple that has another house in Florida. I've just worked around the place cleaning it up and maintaining the house and grounds. Just clearing out my head on what direction I am going next. Medicare kicks in next month. The recommendation to write down expenses is important. I blew thru $5K in one month pissing it away before I began budgeting.
