re: Do any retirees “miss” work?

That's the key right there.

Stay productive and engaged. I retired for good at 44 and my wife still works, I'm pushing 50 now.

I'm pushing 50 now and I can tell you that you have to have productive work to keep you busy because all of my friends (and my wife) still work. If I didn't have my farm, my animals and fishing to keep me occupied for 40 hours a week, it would be much harder.

Like yesterday--I had a great time on my John Deere tractor and listening to music, smoking a joint and cutting hay. To some that might be horrible, but man I love it. Or tinkering in my shop at 11 am smoking a bowl listening to music while cleaning my boat.

It also helps if you have a good hearted woman. My wife doesn't expect me to cook, clean, go to the store or any of that bullshite. Hell, I'd rather have a job than go to shopping.
