If you didn't have to go to work every day.....

what would you be doing with your time? I always hear people that are retired say they thought they would have all this time and now that they are retired, they are always busy and still never have enough time to do everything!

Those of you who have retired, do you find this to be true -- or do you find that you sometimes are bored and looking for ways to fill your time?

I still have to work -- note, I say "have to" because I'd love to be able to retire, but it's not financially in the cards for me.

On the days that I am off, these days just fly by and I feel like I never get all the things done that I want to get done. But then I always attribute this to the fact that since I get such few days off, I am trying to cram a lot of stuff into just a few hours. Or, I am so happy to have some down time that I just sort of turn off and do nothing - and then before I know it, the day is gone and I have accomplished nothing at all!
