Retirement is often both long-awaited and unexpected at the same time. Now you have a lot of free time. And the question arises of how to use this time. If you are plagued by financial difficulties, then every day lived will not be a joy. The situation can be changed.
Instructions
Step 1
When retiring, a person often faces loneliness, especially if children and grandchildren live in another city. Do not withdraw into yourself. Now that you are retired, you have more time for yourself. Surely there is something that you dreamed of, but still could not realize it. Family, parents, work took a lot of time. Make a list of what you would like to do. What books to read, what films to watch. Take care of your health: do exercises, take a shower in the morning, take a course of cleansing and healing the body.
Step 2
Write down your expenses for at least a month so that you can analyze them later. Perhaps there are expenses that could be avoided. Find additional sources of income. Grow tomatoes or greens on the windowsill, knit or sew if your eyesight allows. Tell everyone you know that you are looking for a job. It is likely that at the most unexpected moment they will remember you, when during the vacation they will need to look after the apartment or take the child to classes at the music school, and in the evening to sit with him until the parents arrive; walk the dog or help in the country.
Step 3
It is impossible to live in austerity all the time. This only increases the dissatisfaction with life. Allow yourself a little joy occasionally.
Step 4
Master the Internet. You will get a wonderful opportunity to communicate with many people, read books that were previously inaccessible to you because of the high price, watch films. Find sites that interest you and get involved in the discussion of burning topics. You may have new ideas for how to use your time. It is no secret that there are many elderly people among bloggers. They already have something to share with their audience. Mastering several programs is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
Step 5
To feel happy, you don't have to travel far away. Of course, if finances permit, go on a trip. But a trip to the countryside or a hike to the nearest park will bring you no less joy.
