We all look forward to retirement. After all, nobody would want to work for a lifetime, right? We all deserve to have a stress-free life where we can sit back and chill. When we retire, we finally have all the time in the world to do what we want!
While it may seem like a delightful and exciting idea, we’ll give a heads up about one downside of retiring. Eventually, you’ll get bored. There’s no denying it. You’re most likely have a shock because you’re so used to being busy all the time that you don’t know what to do with your extra time anymore.
“To be happy in life, develop at least four hobbies: one to bring you money, one to keep you healthy, one to bring you joy, and one to bring you peace.”
― Stan Jacobs
