[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 57, will retire next year, and worried. 
I’ve always been very busy. I’d like to take more time to cook healthy meals with my daytime hours. 
I currently already teach a fitness class and travel a lot. We already have a condo in Florida in a 55 older community. 
I am a teacher so I know  I will miss children and precious co-workers. 
DH and I have always been very  young acting for our age and don’t fit in with many our age. That doesn’t mean we should keep working though. I don’t know what it means. 
Accepting advice. [/quote]

Just curious, why are you retiring? I know teaching can be a tiring job, at a young 57, it just seems quite young to retire when you don't feel ready to. I am 56 and not even close. We technically could retire, but I feel like I want to hang to healthcare and income as long as I can. My sister does nothing but pickle ball, pilates, and watch TV and I feel like she's just a waste of resources, honestly. Sorry to judge, but it seems unfulfilling in your 60s to be doing basically nothing. By the way, this is two different things I am commenting on, nost suggesting you said you'd do nothing![/quote]
