I retired 2 years ago at 70. I’m bored out of my mind.

I retired 14 years ago at 51. I haven't been bored so far.

Man, there’s a whole world of interesting, rewarding things to get involved in or to try. Start trying different things and the boredom will quickly end.

I'm working my tail off and still bored out of my mind. I've got so many things I'm dying to do but don't have the time or energy while working. It doesn't look like I'm going to ever get to stop, either.

Your county Republican Party could use you. Volunteer, be a delegate, run voter registration or election integrity or precinct captains.

Your church could use you. Teach Sunday school, organize evangelism events, organize charity work.

Your needy neighbors could use you. Someone who can’t mow, someone who needs after care for their kid so they can work, someone who could use help cooking or cleaning due to infirmity.

Kids can use you. Teach Eddie Eagle for the NRA. take scouts or trail life kids to the gun range. Contact the local homeschool group and offer to have a day of learning to fish, or run an annual spelling or geography or Bible bee, lead a choir or a theater group, start a Math tutor program or a science club or a programming weekly learners group.

My FRiend there is so much good work you can do. Don’t you dare be bored.

I retired in 2020 at 68 when my position was eliminated due to covid. I understand your boredom. I’m now happily unretired and piddling 40 hours a week in a sleep lab DME department. Best job I’ve ever had. I may actually work 6 hours a week, but paid for 40 with benefits.

Pick up a job at your local Home Depot or Hardware store a couple of days a week it is very enjoyable!! Employers are hiring seniors like crazy because the kids today don’t want to work and are very unreliable!!!
