I'm 44. I have 3 year old twin sons, a full time job, work out at the gym 3 days per week, run two miles 4 or 5 times a week, do all the yard work, cook a few of the meals per week, help with the house work, take the kids to soccer lessons, bathe and put the kids to bed most nights... who the hell has time for hobbies?? You make it sound like at 45, you're ready for the retirement home!
Well, personally I'd hate to be sitting home on my @ss, alone with nothing to do, wasting away. My life is full, but that's family life. And if you look at people who live the longest (over 100), they almost always have full lives, keep busy, and keep working. Once you retire and sit around all day, your mind turns to mush. If you don't exercise your body and mind, you start going down hill. I'm 44 and people think I'm around 35. And I feel the same as when I was 18!
Well I'm 51, and still do everything I did at 44.
I enjoy fishing, hunting, shooting, camping, hiking, pretty much anything outside, I have found that I don't like working on cars to much anymore, it's to much like work.....

Simply becasue one retires doesn't have to mean that he sits around all day. I'm 65 and semi-retired, and I still ride my motorcycle quite a lot, in addition to practicing four or five musical instruments every day (the tuba and bass trombone are physically demanding) and playing Scrabble every chance I get to keep my brane...er, brain working. When the temperature cools down a little, I'll be back on my bicycle too.
