I still have a lot of stuff to do around the house, and it should keep me busy


After retirement one needs to fill at least an extra 40 hours a week for another 20 years.
So on top of whatever stuff one was already doing while working.

That is lot of time.

And one has to be completely self driven as well. On the job one is always thinking 'I got to get this done because Bob and Mary really need it to happen'. But in retirement the only driver, again for 20 years, is yourself.

More time for gardening? 20 years worth? How big is that yard really?
Home improvements? 20 years worth? Even presuming the back holds up.
Learning to oil paint? You will be an expert in only 5 years.
