Starting to get bored (move, retired, friends, chores)

[CatPeople]

Retired finance guy. Buying rental properties for something to do all day is an option. Spend all day on Excel, let’s do this.

I could be the next Trump. How hard can it be?

Can’t be much more difficult than trolling on C-D

[CatPeople]

I tossed an idea out. Providing free content to this site. If that is not good enough for you, I will move on. LesserSeneca has spoken.

Catpeople,
If that's what you want to do, go for it. If you have the means that is.

But if you buy rental properties don't you need to also manage them? Yuck.

If you are bored, teach yourself to do something lucrative and risky such as trading currency futures.

Appears your occupying your free time by currently fishing

what did everyone's Mom say when the kids complained "We're bored!"


"Only boring people get bored." Either that, or she would find chores for you to do. Then you got un-bored real quick.

The people I know who flunk retirement either
1) have no non-work interests such as golf, fishing, woodworking, crafts, quilting, gardening ....
2) do not easily make friends
3) have no interest in volunteering or mentoring


or all 3. Some people just aren't cut out for retirement.

Whelllllll ----- if CatPeople really is bored and isn't playing board games with the rest of us ---

I need help cleaning stalls so I still have some energy to ride my onery horse that involves a lot more than sitting in the saddle and holding a set of reins.

Shoveling horse poop for awhile will do you some good:

It will give you some perspective.

It will give you some much-deserved sore shoulders and back --- the muscles you have never used because your mouth gets all the action.

It will be a humbling experience at least until you can move your arms again.

***
Stop whining and get a life --- take up golf or chess at the country club if mukking stalls holds no appeal but get a life before, all of a sudden, you don't have one ------ nobody cares about your trite-and-not-cute bean counter comments
