I have no routine or structure since retiring. But i have just started taking a big glass of water out on the deck and doing some gentle movement exercise while getting vitamin D. This really seems to be helping my day go better.

a lovely day !

I've rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. I walk every day, slowly. Thing is keep it regular The speed dead slow n stop but everyday. My darling little Jack Russel learnt his wings last week so I now have to walk alone but, my smartphone has lots of stories n funny half hours eg Tony Handcock. These keep me going. The 1st 20 mins are he'll but then I manage. I paint too.

I retired a few months ago and still find there is NOT enough availble hours in a day for the tasks I need to do. Seriously, not enough availble hours each day. For example this AM: Woke up at 7:30 AM, had small 1st breakfast, went into external shop, changed engine oil in lawn mower, cleaned its underside deck, came inside house and made fresh coffee for my wife (who wakes up at 9:30 AM), had my 2nd breakfast, visited the neighbour (to meet his grass cutting contractor - to hire him to cut our summer time lawn when we are too busy), came in at 11:15 AM, had a nap until 12:00, woke up and lunch was ready (wife made it for exchange of morning's fresh coffee), go hardware store shopping, came back home and visited a different place at 3:15 PM to buy some steel pipes, had dinner at 6:00 PM, then a little walk around the city block. Not enough time to change winter-summer tires on our vehicle and no availble time to fill in lawn Divots / Grass seed either. Again, I ran out of avilble time (while retired). I often tell my wife that even retired, my days are too busy. Cannot wait for summer vacation time.... As stated to many folks, we do NOT really retire. We simply work (enjoy) many other things instead....

New subscriber. I am looking forward to retiring in 7 months. I finally found someone with my same interests

Thanks for the insight I’m early retiree and I want to have a meaningful and productive day

I've just discovered your channel and subscribed. I believe God led me to you because everything that you said about wanting to retire resonates with me...i.e. I'm exhausted all the time, I'm unhappy...yada, yada...I could go on. I'm 61 and will be 62 this year, and I have this debate with myself every day, and it's even ten times worse when I'm on vacation, which I am currently on now. I have no children or husband and the biggest fear about retiring is financial...will I be able to afford it. I bought a house a couple of years ago which is another reason why I can't see myself retiring right now (I was evicted from my apartment during the pandemic for no reason, which is why I decided to buy a house, but that's another long story) because managing a home is eye-opening and expensive (this is my first home and I'm not use to being responsible for maintenance). But I just wanted to say (and I apologize for rambling) thank you for giving me some things to think about for instance mediating and taking risk. God has never left me nor forsaken me. I know with God's will for me and your encouraging words, it will work out.

My purpose is to help others weed through the mounds of misinformation being spread by fitness influencers on how to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle that they can love and easily maintain.

Retirement exposes some people for the boring people that they are!

First thing I do is make a cup of coffee and thank God for it. 😊

You talk too much..

Bible clearly says women are not to be pastors. Why do so many not see this? It's in black and white

What if you have spent your whole life caring for others and serving others and now, you just want to relax, travel, and do self-care? I think that is where I'm at!

I have missed seeing your videos! I had to look for you and glad I found you!

Thanks for making this video. I’m a widow and my day is similar but lately I get SO SLEEPY after lunch (which varies between 12-2) that I nap almost daily unless I have an errand or appt. I like RUclips and reading or listening to audiobooks. I don’t like exercise but know I need to at least walk. I recently re-homed my cat because she had recurring allergic hot spots, became aggressive, and I couldn’t take care of her properly. Hoping she’ll be adopted by a vet. I have IBS & GERD control it by eating small amounts of bland foods. I’m in the midst of decluttering. It’s hard to start but once I do, I enjoy putting lots of things in boxes to donate and dropping them off. It helps others and me, too. I’m considering dating but not sure if I should put myself out there. I love my church activities and enjoy some things about living alone, but I do miss having a strong male partner.

Promo'SM ☺️

Just turned 51 this month. I use BeReal with my work colleagues (I'm a teacher) who are younger. It was a relief to find out most of them go home after work and "crash" too! This video really resonates with me. Hope you continue these videos. I am at a place where I do want to reinvent my self but struggle with anxiety and depression. You're videos are encouraging.

How’s it going, reinventers? Miss me? I sure missed you and posting these videos. How well are you being your authentic self these days? I want to hear from you in the comments below! 0:56

Hi. I just found your channel and am intrigued. I retired at age 66 (in 2019). I had a hard time adjusting because I felt guilty about not working when I knew I was still physically able. But mentally, I had had enough of the corporate world. I really missed the daily camaraderie with coworkers. I’ve settled into a routine kind of like yours. Wake up early (5:30-6:00 usually), breakfast, read my Bible and a daily devotional, watch some RUclips videos, get dressed, do an exercise video. Then I run any errands. Next is lunchtime, then some housework, sewing or crocheting, then I walk on my treadmill while I watch an episode of a show on tv. I waste a lot of time looking at RUclips, but I love some of the channels I’ve found and have learned so much. It’s kind of like mini seminars with some of them. Next comes dinner. I only cook for myself; my husband cooks his own food. He likes it that way! I have GERD so we can’t eat the same foods. We just started going to church, so I hope to eventually get involved with their programs as I feel more a part of the congregation. We are both very introverted, so it takes a while to feel comfortable around new people. I’m really looking forward to seeing more on your channel!

Add into the age 50, how to be happy

How do your before and after pictures compare? Let me know!

I wish you didn’t crate your dog. At least put a pillow or blanket in there.

I needed to hear this today! Thanks for posting. :-)

<Retiring from public services made me realise that I had no means to passive income and in 5 years I had only moved around in circles financially I needed to make investments immediately desperate retirement and that led me to this looking for ways out. I feel very accomplished every time I remember my journey and how I have been able to grow my Investment to a return of over 200% in less than 6 months. Mind-blowing experience really

I was really hard on myself last week I compared myself to a cockroach (and the cockroach won). I was with younger people and they were talking about whether or not to have children and I said even at 66 you second guess yourself, a cockroach knows his purpose is to live and breed, and if that was my purpose too I've failed. Fortunately I am quite sure that was not my purpose there are more than enough humans. I have been retired 1 year now and I have been busy but no wow project that I am passionate about. Still I am reasonable happy. Grade B+.

As if retirement is possible! I could not afford to retire and stay in the U.S. At 58 I was divorced, so I had to split my retirement with my ex-wife. I was born in 1945 just at the end of the Silent Generation. In 2003, I had worked for the Federal Reserve Bank for 30 years. Because of a toxic work place, I had to retire to keep my sanity. My only option was to retire to the Philippines on $348 a month. It is very possible to do this. It was dicey until I was 62 and got Social Security, after that I started living very well and still do. Had I stayed in the States, I would have been homeless and on the streets. But you cannot depend on checks coming in the mail. I have many retirement checks I have not received. I believe they were stolen and cashed with fake IDs. The Fed will do nothing to help me in this regard because they show no checks unpaid. The logistics of where I live make it nearly impossible to even send a letter to the Fed. It takes two months for me to receive a letter from the States, the Fed will not entertain phone calls from retirees. They do have a company go between that takes care of retiree needs but again due to logistics, security issues, Etc, If you get locked out of your account online, it is very difficult to get any help. Even though the Fed calls itself the Federal Reserve Bank, it is not federal at all, but a commercial bank (private enterprise). Therefore, they do not direct deposit to any foreign country, unlike the federal government. All I'm saying is, you do not have to stay in the U.S. if you need to retire and cannot afford to stay in the States. Just make sure you are 62 so that you can get Social Security direct deposited to a foreign bank. A check in the mail may not work and will most likely get stolen, forged, and cashed without you or your bank knowing about it.

Nothing on spending time with spouse?

Shop, cook, dishes, cleaning, laundry, pay bills, groom, take meds, take out garbage,see Drs, have medical tests, smoke weed and cigs Study, listen to music, watch movies

Thanks for sharing I'm new at this retirement. In the beginning I felt this wasn't for me. I try to find things to keep me busy. Walking, sewing, gardening looking forward to traveling.

39...In preparation...Prepping MeSELF towards the Future...AMEN!!! GOD BLESS YOU...🙏😘🙏

This was a good plan to go through for clarity.

Write it and press publish. Give yourself permission to make mistakes while you're moving forward.

Yes, I'm a writer!

I'm trying to find my audience and niche down as well. It's challenging.

Accountability partners work for me.

Lucky for me I dove head first into a cohort that organized and help me do so much of this!

I am a writer and working hard to find my space on platforms. I have many writer contacts who are developing online courses, etc. as well. I know I'm 8 months late to the conversation. I hope your journey is going well!

I will finish up work in September after 44 years. I want to actively re invent myself as I am afraid if I do not take the intentional initiative I will wither in the vine. Can re invention be a craft or “art form” a project or vocation? I guess I’ll find out! Thanks for experimenting with different perspectives and was of shooting your video though I must admit I near cacked my breeches when you opened the fridge door and appeared from nowhere !! Lucky I was’nt secretly scoffing down some naughty pleasure. Ha!

How’s it going reinventers? Hope you are having a great summer - but in case you find yourself stuck in the reinventing process, especially over age 50, watch this video and get yourself back on track! Let me know what you think by commenting below. And keep watching - some major changes are coming to this channel this summer!!

Getting ready to retire - in 1.5 months- looking to be prepared! Thank you!!

How’s it going, Reinventers? I had the hardest time getting this video out to you! I had it edited and ready to upload but it absolutely would not save to my ipad. So, the example is not in real time - that is what was stopping the video from saving. Go figure. I had to re-edit and then had a vacation in the middle of this so….long time to get it to you. Hope it is helpful, regardless. Let me know it it works for you!

I'm back!!!! I loved this and have been thinking a lot about it. I write. for the past year, I have been exploring what to write about. soon I will have more time to think about and explore to find the answer.
