    What my retirement is shaping up to look like:

    • Steam backlog with over a thousand games
    • Dozens of board games
    • Card games
    • Gigs worth of TTRPG PDFs
    • Gigs of Audiobooks
    • Terabytes of TV and Movies
    • Snowboarding
    • Skateboarding
    • Mountain biking
    • Off-Grid Van Life
    • Learning guitar
    • Learning electronic music production

    I dunno. I suspect I won’t miss office politics, stressed clients and the rest much.

    EDIT:

    I forgot to add “painting table top miniatures” and “modding guitars” to the list. Here is a Washburn I modded into a rubber bridge.

      I have a friend who is very happily spending his retirement wargaming- playing games, inventing games, painting models and writing and self-publishing books on wargaming. He seems extremely satisfied.

          Some of his miniatures are super miniature too. Like a quarter the size of Warhammer miniatures. And he does a very good job of painting their little Napoleonic uniforms or whatever.
