For those who are retired do you ever find yourself wanting to re-enter the workforce due to sheer boredom?

A friend of mine turned me onto this remote work website and I see somethings on there I am interested in. Retirement is boring and I want to go back to work part time to have something to do. I see translation work in a language I speak so I want to apply for that.

Retirement is boring!! Many of my friends are now retired and say they "are so busy each day". Maybe, but not doing what I want to do. I have no intention of leaving work for some time yet.

No - are you thinking it might be boring rather than thinking how you can fill your own life after work?

Never mind what your active friends do.

No-one expects you to mould your life to that of theirs. Find things that interest and occupy you, not them.

(I have been retired for nine years now, and find plenty to interest me and to do.)
