Doing the things you love is a huge part of retirement. If the activities that you enjoy are affordable, that makes it much easier, financially. Maybe you will take day trips, ride your bicycle, watch movies, or garden.
Catching up with friends on the phone or Zoom, kayaking, and hiking are healthy and positive ways to spend your time. I am seeing more and more seniors out on the water during my kayaking trips. Kayaks are simple to maintain, they don't require any fuel, (except muscle power,) and they are far cheaper than owning a boat. You still can get out on the water, pack a lunch and enjoy the lull of the ocean or the stillness of a lake. Paddle boarding has become extremely popular in Los Angeles, too. You are out in the sunshine and fresh air, and getting an excellent workout.
If you are a food enthusiast, you might enjoy making delicious meals, baking, and shopping for your favorite foods. Cooking your own meals saves a great deal of money. Taking the time to eat well, and prepare fresh salads and vegetables will go a long way, health-wise.
Do you like to read or write? Journaling and blogging are rewarding pastimes. They are a pleasant and relaxing way to spend your time at home. If you are passionate about knitting or crocheting, having a stash of yarn, knitting needles and crochet hooks will come in handy. I found this to be particularly helpful during the lockdowns we all experienced during the pandemic. I also ended up with some warm and colorful socks to wear and gift to friends.
