The Issues of RetirementI have recently retired after having full-time jobs for more than 50 years and although this may sound like a good thing that I should be happy about now that I have the time to enjoy my Golden Years, I actually find that I’m bored stiff and have way too much time on my hands with absolutely nothing to do. I have always appreciated boating and my first thought was that I would take the substantial funds we received from selling our house and then go looking at luxury motor yachts for sale. This idea proved to be a fun adventure and kept me occupied for a few months before I finally wised up and realized that I was way too old and inexperienced to handle one of those big boats by myself and just riding around in the dang thing while a Captain and crew did all of the driving seemed like it would quickly get as boring as sitting here all day in my living room. So, next I thought I should look in to sailing with a smaller boat as that would be something I could do by myself and the challenge of sailing sounded like it would keep me from getting bored. I started looking for windsurfing Houston information and quickly discovered that I had to take a lot of accredited sailing instruction courses before I would be allowed out on the water unsupervised. Well, this was sounding very much like going back to school and that certainly was not something that I was interested in doing so that particular great idea also got discarded. Now this whole situation has seemed to have gone full circle as I’m giving serious thought to going back to work at least on a part time basis. I wouldn’t want to actually be employed by a company where I would have a boss and regular hours but might do OK as a self employed consultant working with Houston SEO activities. I’m still not sure but at least this idea gives me something to think about and should keep me busy investigating for at least a few months.
