I cant retire if I never really worked, I had a nightclub and was in the music biz, that was before comps were the thing,
I sold it and did/do some guest stuff but on the side burner has always been other "hobbies" like customs, kit cars cycles, and things like rc or restoring old arcade stuff, most of that stuff I do now and the net is used to find info so that's why it looks like I live on here,
When my car gets home Monday night, yeah, I hope I hope, I will not be on here as much as being outside working on the car takes me offline....I do not much like doing net stuff from my phone.

Head Chef as my trade here...
Whenever the corvette 'itch' gets too bad, I'll make my sous chefs run around a little faster, retire to the office for a bit, and get some good 'administrative' work done
Kind of like right now!

Retired at 48 in 1998 . Made me an offer I couldn't refuse. working part time and check the forum daily. I like to see what people are doing with their Corvette's and maybe be of some help.

I retired as a QA Manager in the aerospace industry in 2013. Did some contract/consulting work for a little while but then I discovered that 'a man without a job is like a fish without a bicycle' (to steal a phrase). So I work on little projects such as a log cabin retreat I have in Eastern KY, restoring or cloning vintage guitars, playing with a horse I have near the cabin or working on the Vette here in SC. I am totally random on here. I sometimes go for days or weeks without popping in, then at times I am here several times a day. Such as now.

I check the forum a couple times a day. Sometimes during working hours. I own my own business and I jump on and off to look at the parts for sale sections.
What I do not do is spend hours surfing the net. Just a quick on and off. I always have too many things to do and not enough time to do them.

I check the forum a few times a day while at work. Drafter here, so it's easy to Alt-Tab over to the internet to check a few threads, then back to AutoCAD and whatever project I'm working on. It's been slow enough for us to allow this. Once it gets busy I'll not be able to.
