    I would take classes for stuff that actually interests me. And spend more time on hobbies. It’s pretty obvious to me honestly. I don’t understand how people get depressed and bored when they retire. It actually makes no sense to me. It’s super common too. People feel like they “have no purpose” and absolutely crumble in retirement. It blows my mind. I feel like those people are super fucking boring and have no interests.

    Chill on the couch. Watch Youtube. Go for bike rides. Learn the ukulele and go busking for fun. Do papercraft. I was able to do this for about 5 years, and then I had to go back to work, just as I was really getting my creative juices going.

    Exercise to get healthy and work on my garden, to start. Then I’d handle any necessary projects for my home. Then I’d find causes to support by volunteering.

    Haha I like to be silly at work sometimes after I’ve already paid the big monthly expenses. I say, “I’m here to do two things help kids and pay bills, and I’m all outta bills.” I would continue to work in my field on a part time basis. Then I would make time for a few doctor appointments and start going to therapy again. I’d walk my dog at different parks more often. Hopefully id make more time with my friends and family assuming they have the same deal. I would want to be more involved with my community too.

    Work out, do DIY at home, volunteer at my local cat shelter and dedicate more time to making music, gaming and general computer fiddlin’. If it was literally just basic needs with no cash maybe host some services for people on a small scale or teach about self hosting for money to afford luxuries.

    I’d work on cars. And my house. It feels like I’m fighting entropy, I fix one thing and find 2 more problems in the process. But I know some of that is just the previous home owner doing a bunch of diy.

    Learn to wood work and build furniture. I have a deep, deep loathing for flat pack furniture.

    Garden. I’d love to have a proper garden.

    Honestly. I’d just like to be rid of my anxiety over finances.

    When the weather is good, be outside as much as possible. Do more long-distance, or even multi-day treks. Dick around in the woods more (survival skills for fun, learn more about identifying local plants and fungi, etc). Bring a book and some basic snacks, and hang out in public park space more often (we’ve got some beautiful spaces here). Basically just a lot more exploration, primarily on foot, bike, or skateboard depending on distance and energy level.

    When the weather is crap, spend more time keeping my place in order and looking nice. Listen to music, read books, maybe try and get more deliberate about a writing habit. Pick a public indoor space of some kind and become a regular. Maybe volunteer.

    Spend more time working on good habits to keep the energy level up for the above long term.

    I’d be one of those old school naturalists and just, like, go live in a swamp for three years with one pair of clothes, a cot, a journal, and a pencil.
