when I retire,

This is a nice discussion... When i retire... i want to be able to travel a lot... go to places that i have always wanted to go to... specifically other countries... alone or with a close relative... and if i am not travelling... i want to volunteer working in an orphanage... since i think that is the best way to spend my idle time...

I plan to do the same thing... i also want to achieve financial freedom when i retire.

Yes it is really the time to be yourself and not think about work anymore. It is the time to pamper yourself and congratulate yourself for being a good worker. it is the time for you to enjoy your family too. For all those neglected times because of your job this is the time to find the time they truly deserve.

Hello,adoremay! I have already retired from service and spending most of the time with my family.after retirement no further engagements i desired and now enjoying my life freely,reading news papers,watching tv programs,and surfing in internet.what more should i expect in this life?i have enjoyed my life to the fullest extent.thanx.

To my mind retirement is much the same,life will go on the same ,but work will not enter the equation ,and we wil lbe able to spend more time together,which on the whole would be a pleasant thing.I dont want to have a wild retirement,and if I can manage the odd holiday and the odd treat ,then all well and good,but you just have to learn how to adapt.

I wish to be with my family in the province when I retire. I still do some good stuff here in the internet, and mylot if and I wish we still exist. Our home will stand by the sea. So everytime I do my stuffs here, I do it in the terrace watching the waves while the sun sets. KEEP SMILING = NEIL

I think that I would love to take a few years off and sit on a beach somewhere and watch the ocean waves... but then I remember that I sunburn very easily, and so my retirement dream starts to vanish... (LOL) When I retire, I would like to take the opportunity to read and write more.
