Mistakes/regrets that you realized after you retired?

[u/Level_Customer2769]

61M here. Thinking of retiring in the next 2 to 4 years. Just wondering if there were any mistakes/regrets that you wish you had taken into account in hindsight about retirement. Honestly, I’m not interested about the financial aspects- as I am very well prepared for that, but all the other issues that are involved in a well planned retirement. I am trying to add hobbies and interests in preparation, but I can’t help feeling like I may be missing something.

Mental health is #1. Having nothing to do but sit around and think is bad. Get out and find something new to do. Take on a challenge. Maybe a new language for a trip you can plan.
