10 Fun Things You Can Do After You Retire


When retiring many elders find themselves bored with tons of spare time on their hands. Below is a list that I suggest you try! Some items are new experiences, some allow you to acquire a new skill, some are enjoyable and some might even help others. It is imperative that you choose things that are right for you. Here is a list of ten fun things you could do with your free time in retirement.

1. If you’re not ready to give up working then maybe you can share your talents by taking up a part-time job.

2. Learn something new, sign up for a class that interests you and maybe acquire a new skill. Ex: gardening, sewing, knitting, painting, photography

3. Work out with a fitness group, water aquatics are the best for your body.

4. Relax!! Go to the beach, stargaze, read a great book, nap. You’ve worked your whole life now is the time to relax.

5. Spend time with friends who share your interest in a craft, game, sport or hobby.

6. Volunteer by reading to children at the local library or hospital.

7. Volunteer at a non-profit organization.

8. Enjoy nature! Visit zoo's and parks. Spend the afternoon observing animals and scenic views.

9. Visit the local museums and art galleries in your town.
