I agree with HiChaiGuy that if you don't have hobbies or activities that you enjoy doing or that you are compelled to do, the couch will eat you whole. That being said, I've contended on this channel for a long time that I don't believe it's my place to determine whether or not that would be a suitable or unsuitable retirement for someone. I believe that if a person wants to spend their retirement sitting on their couch, watching TV, reading books, whatever they want to do, and that makes them happy, that's okay by me. Wouldn't work for me because I decided in retirement to work on my health, exercise, eat better. Not because I want to live forever, but because ideally what I'd like to see happen is that I'm in great health and then boom. It's over. I feel like taking better care of yourself and eating better and staying active increases the likelihood of that. I don't know if I'm right or not, but I feel like at least I'm making the effort that way. But I don't fault anyone. If they literally just want to sit around for their retirement, that's cool by me. If it makes them happy and that's how they want to spend their retirement, they earned it, they can take it how they want.
