I'm 60. I learned 30 years ago that friends were a net negative.

[Roger]

I no longer have/want friends. I can not afford them.

[wichetleelamanit]

Exactly true. I have beautiful houses, money, dogs and good part-time jobs. No friends are required.

Ive just retired and I love it, I do my thing keep busy rest when I have to, go to concerts, theatre etc. I've just started decorating, I love not being told what time to come in, where family is concerned I make rules its my time, I also thank the creater for helping me to reach this time, at 66 my sprituality is important.

This was so eye-opening. Thank you for providing a unique perspective on retirement and the social connections we keep

I’m 64 & retired. I joined parkrun almost ten years ago & attend every Saturday, I either run or walk or volunteer. Post event I have breakfast with a group of friends mostly made through parkrun. I also am a member of a local running group. These groups give me the ongoing social connection I enjoy. No stress, no obligations just pure enjoyment.

The best thing that ever happen to me when I retired last year.

[FreemanJameZ]

At 45, I recently lost my job. My military pension is $9000, and I also have access to Tricare and VA healthcare. I'm thinking about traveling abroad with my money, assets, and 401(k) after selling or renting my home. Which passive income options should I be looking at?

[Bazerkly]

If you don't have friends they don't borrow money and they don't drink your beer ! 🤔

Your wisdom is a gift. Thank you for sharing it so generously

Acceptation, We all live with the satisfaction when others accepted us. Unfortunately at old age no one will want to be with you, so we say God is with us and then we live with our own sweet past memories. Doctors will call it Dementia but the truth is we all want to live in times when people accepted us. That is life.

I am 80 years old I was a business man
Sold up and moved away live alone that's the answer Christmas
Ext only a norther day
Don't mix stay safe

[denis]

That's because most of them will ask to borrow $$$ and if you don't loan them, you are short a friend. Where are other case is that they see you are better off than them or worst in reverse.

Retirement is a new hobby. Lots of people flunk retirement because they can’t let go of their old life and status. Retirement doesn’t mean you sit home and watch TV all day, it means you have the opportunity to discover what’s left of your life. Don’t be tempted to waste what you have left with activities that don’t align with your pursuit of squeezing the very best out of what you left of life. I personally have so many hobbies that I don’t need another, but I’m always looking because my old hobbies may no longer align with my aging body life or interests. For example, I gave up big game hunting because I no longer have the hunting instinct. I would end up giving the meat away anyway. If I do go hunting in the future, it’ll be just to take my gun for a walk. One big advice if you just retired…..you better have a hobby. If you don’t, you’ll end up going back to your old life and be miserable.

I am happy for everone not occupying my couch and using me as a psychologically trash can where they can dump their problems. I am not bothering anybody with my problems so why shall I listen to theirs?

[bigcatproductions]

Just trying to get the kid at the Grocery to check out 😂

[VinhNguyen-ipdr]

Thousand friends, how many are dear friends, how many will attend your funeral?

[jessegarman]

I disagree. A robust social life is important to mental wellbeing. Before retirement I joined several social organizations. I frequently meet with friends, new and old. But they have been vetted with years of association. I only hang out with the best people.
