Hi guys,
I didnt want to hijack Mr. Potter's thread about being 80, so I'll ask the question here.....
Im years from retirement, and conditions could certainly change. But I worry, because I've seen more than one relative retire and then decay/die by just sitting on the sofa. I understand it can be hard to motivate oneself at 70+. But I wondered if anyone has suggestions for HOW to stay engaged and active.
My relatives all knew they "should" get a hobby, a social group, etc. But they just couldnt break the sofa habit. How do you folks do it? For example, do you "force yourself" to go find new places to socialize? Do you just keep trying different types of volunteer work until you find one that suits? Etc.
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but Im hoping to get some experienced advice.
Respectfully,
Fred
