It can beat going to work.

But one needs to be active, and feel like you're contributing. That has to become intentional, in retirement.

Good news!

Right... good advice.
for a while I will not be active as I have to have some surgery. But after that, I plan on doing some grant writing for local non profits and teach balance classes to the elderly who are at risk of falling.
And I cannot wait to be able to ride my bike again!!

Of course it beats going to work. If it didn't, people wouldn't look forward to it or voluntarily do it.

People expect retirement to be wonderful, more or less automatically. It ain't necessarily so.
