Subject: Re: Most real life retirees don't take 4%
the nothing you have to do is what makes retirement boring for some people.

Throughout most of my working life I was engaged in activities that I found interesting, challenging and rewarding, triggering meaningful and largely enjoyable engagement with others. So for me, the freedom of retirement has been something of a mixed bag, as I do miss the many satisfactions deriving from my erstwhile 'working' life.
