Baby Boomers Need Creative Practical Hobbies"Well how are you really enjoying your retirement?" I asked out of interest, "it was great to start with" he said, but lately, I've just become kind of lost... I don't really know what to do with all the spare time I have, "and there's only so much golf you can play, you know"? "then he said", "I'd love to do all of the things you do in your home workshop. I said to him, well, you know mate it's never too late to learn, Why don't you come over one day so that I can show you around my workshop, and give you a few ideas, you'll love it. I guess if your're retired like Jim, you'll probably understand what he's talking about. The baby boomers, i.e. anyone born from the mid 1940s to the mid 1950s, are now approaching, or have allready opted for early retirement. Retirement presents great changes in lifestyle's, which will have a profound effect on the way many choose to fill in the lazy days of retirement. A hard working company executive generally has little time during his busy career to find the time to develop or establish an interest in practical hobby pursuits. Many prospective retirees dream of the carefree days they'll spend hitting a golf ball around their favorite golf course, or sailing their yacht, and not giving a hoot how much time is spent doing it. But not every retiree has the desire or the income to do the above, some will also want to travel and explore, before settling into a new lifestyle. Many just want to catch up on home maintenance projects, or perhaps take a totally new direction in life, and become involved in a practical hobby to bring out the hidden carpenter, engineer, or handy man that's hidden inside a lot of people. Let's face it, many people, (that may also include you), will derive much personal enjoyment, working with their hands & creating things. This kind of pleasure work provides an inner sense of total personal self-fulfilment that few other things can provide. The challenge and personal reward of creating something from nothing with your own bare hands, is difficult to describe to anyone who hasn't done it. There are thousands of people with hidden talents which they've never bothered to explore. What about you? Is there a mechanical genius or practical hobby worker hidden Inside of you, just waiting to be discovered? Retirement truly provides the opportunity, time & money to explore your hidden latent talents, you've now got the time to explore & develop them further. A big proportion of blokes (men) love tinkering with mechanical things, like taking items apart to rebuild & restore. Some even want to fabricate and build new things from scratch, whether they chose to work in wood or metal is a personal choice.
