- going on long walks and to the gym frequently
- more vacations, weekend trips and day trips to sightsee
- now that I have kids, travel to see them but it sounds like you have some time before grandkids are in the picture

aside from buying an investment property, I plan on doing all of the above, plus declutter.

We each volunteer twice a week and are on a couple of boards. I go to a yoga class 3-4 times a week. I'm in a book club. DH is in a pool club - he and some friends go to shoot pool once a week. He's currently mentoring a little boy who doesn't have a father - the boy was over yesterday morning and they were playing chess when I left the house. We travel - both long weekends and multi-week trips. We take classes at the JCC. We took an Italian class for 18 months and then went to Italy for a month. So we find ways to stay busy.
