I retired when I turned 62, although I still do the occasional trial consulting. My wife still works and I don’t think she has any intentions of retiring in the next few years. Which means I pretty much have to entertain myself.
The first few years of retirement were tough as being a trial attorney kept me in the courtroom and my mind sharp. And yes, I identified myself with my work. The trial consulting does keep my foot in the door. On the other hand, I hate having things scheduled on my calendar!
While I do have some hobbies, winters are tough up here in Nebraska. I think I’m actually going to have to come up with a daily schedule of house, work, hobbies, and puttering in the garage. There are days that go by that I don’t talk to anyone other than my wife when she gets home from work. It can get lonely at times. I tried doing volunteer work, but I have yet to find something that makes me want to go in and volunteer.
