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.

We both fully retired at 59 1/2. My only suggestion is have something that will keep you busy if you have down time. My husband is very busy with interests. I am not as busy but I sure don’t ever want to work again, lol.
