I have never adapted well to being retired. [View all]

I find it very hard to not go to work every day so, instead, I push myself to "accomplish" a lot every day -well, Monday through Friday. That way when I go to bed I can count off what I did and feel ok about myself.

My brother is the same way and re-created a 1990's type office in his house with big desk and leather chair, employee's chair opposite his, file cabinets, etc. Its the whole package. He goes down there every day (M-F) around 7 AM, works on his investments, email, and various projects, comes upstairs for lunch, then back down and finishes up at 5 PM.
