Things to Do in Retirement
Your 9-5 as a Retiree
“If only there were more hours in the day…” It’s a phrase we’ve all said—until retirement arrives and suddenly, time is on your side. With fewer daily obligations and more freedom, retirement marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Whether you’re newly retired or planning ahead, this guide will help you discover meaningful ways to spend your time in retirement.
Travel and Adventure
Retirement is the perfect time to see the world—whether that means hopping on a plane or taking the scenic route in an RV. Explore national parks, visit historic towns, or finally book that European river cruise you said you would take if you ever had enough time. Prefer staying closer to home? Day trips and weekend getaways offer refreshing change without the hassle of a long journey.
Volunteering and Giving Back
Many retirees find purpose in helping others. Volunteer at a local shelter, mentor a young professional, or support causes you’re passionate about. Make a meaningful impact in our local community by joining our team at Capital City as we partner with Meals on Wheels and Harvest Hope. It’s a great way to give back and connect with others who share your passion for service.
Finding New Hobbies and Projects
Try picking up a new hobby, learn to play an instrument, join a class at a community college or senior center, or dive into new reads from your local library. Many colleges even offer free or low-cost courses for seniors, and digital platforms like Coursera allow you to take classes from universities such as Yale and Stanford for free.
