After I retired I started to realize it’s what I don’t have to do on a daily basis that is the most rewarding. The ultimate luxury is having enough to not have to work.

I often think hey no meeting today or any day. No expense report this week. No drive in traffic. Then I smile.

Again for me it’s not what I am doing that is important it’s what I am not doing that I relish.

What you have said here appears to me to be the most positive things of which I can say about retirement. Not having to be at any particular place at any particular time has a high value to me.

I can retire now, but I don't want to. My work gives me a sense of purpose, and I worry about what I will find to do to keep myself sane in the absence of my work.

My current plan for retirement is to just work at restoring antique cars, but I fear it won't be sufficiently fulfilling to keep me happy.

But i'm glad others have found a way to enjoy life after a career.
