Retirement Hobbies -
|
You don't have to do a hobby full time, or daily, or even weekly -- as that's the beauty of retirement, you can spend your days anyway you like.
If you are a night owl, do your hobby at midnight while the rest of the world is deep asleep. You might just find yourself in one of the most rewarding "jobs" of your life... and you'll think it's play, because its FUN!
Find a Retirement Hobby that Feeds your Soul...
Ohhhhhh -- art! I love viewing paper arts online. Just wait until I have the retirement time and opportunity to do this myself! You might love crocheting, or flower arranging, or making fancy chocolates, or making candles to share with friends. Whatever it is that makes your heart go WHOOPEE -- go for it!
Find a Retirement Hobby that Pays...
Diana is a methodical, organized gal. She has a bachelors degree in English literature, but she is considering starting a small business to help home owners organize their home and life. Now she has something to keep her busy while padding up her savings accounts at the same time. Perfect!
Karin loves artsy dolls, what did she do? She learned how to make them, joined Etsy to sell them online, and goes to craft shows too -- ladies love them! (If you are a crafter, check out Etsy as it helps you sell your arts and crafts online!)

My husband, Terry, picked up his guitar that he didn't use for over twenty years (hid away under the bed) and guess what? He now plays for two churchs, three services, every week. He loves every practice, connecting with the other musicians, and doing his guitar magic!
Just FIND A RETIREMENT HOBBY that you enjoy!
