I saw my retired parents waste away in front of the TV every day. As mentioned before .... the best job is the one that you don't need. So besides enjoying my part time "get out of the house" job there are other benefits. I save money and stay healthy by only drinking on Friday and Saturday. These of course are not my work days. I also don't go out for meals during the week. I have retired neighbors that seem to spend 5 or 6 days a week out for lunch or dinner and boozing everyday. That would never work for me
