When you get off the treadmill at retirement age, make sure you have something else to occupy your time. Those "golden years" ain't what they're cracked up to be after a few months of vegetation.

I, for one, am so busy now that I don't know when I found time to work. And none of my associates think of me as elderly.

Do something good for mankind so you can hold onto that feeling of gratification. Keep standing tall.

LOL ~ Lounging around half the day in your bathrobe and slippers may sound great to some but it turns a man into a pest to his wife.

When a person is accustomed to handling a lot of responsibility in their job, it's a big letdown after retiring when it all goes away and you're no longer the "it" person.

A lot of people get fat after retiring. So find something to do that keeps you out of the refrigerator.

IOW, steer clear of comfort foods.

"steer clear of comfort foods."

And that goes for women, too. Being a mother is the hardest job in the world. 24/7/365 and you don't get paid vacations.

So when the kids leave the nest and you feel like nobody needs you anymore, slap yourself in the face if you evern think about comfort foods. If you tell yourself "this little bit won't hurt," you're lying.
