Observing numerous retired friends and acquaintances, I've noticed that
the happiest are those that take up something that looks like a job, i.e.
has a regular schedule or structure to it.


I have a friend who retired young (mid 50's), bought a house at the
airport, got his A&P and now runs an informal maintenance shop from
his house hanger. Its flexible enough that he can take off and travel
but enough obligation that it keeps him busy. Its great for owner
assisted annuals.
