I loved my newly retired parents so much that I got us tickets for the 2017 Pensioners Conference. They had never attended such an event; they did not even know that there was even a mass gathering for pension recipients like them.

Despite the initial hesitance to go, though, Mom and Dad enjoyed their time at the conference. The organizers invited a few people in various industries to talk about what retirees could do with their free time.

Some of the activities that will allow you to live productively are:

Grow Your Food
One of the first things that you can try is to grow your own food. Whether you are a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore, it is not too challenging to raise chickens or pigs, plant vegetables, or do both. Doing so ensures you about the food items’ ‘diets’ and prevents you from turning into a couch potato.

Travel The World
In case your work always got in the way of your dreams of traveling the world, now is the best time to fulfill it. Take out a map or globe, close your eyes, and point to any country that you should visit if you feel adventurous. Should you have destinations in mind already, start planning to make it happen.

Help Less Fortunate People
Considering you have more than enough cash lying around, why don’t you help less fortunate folks? You can start by giving free food to homeless people in your town. Then, you may pick an orphanage and donate money for the orphans. If a natural calamity has taken place, you are welcome to send relief goods to the disaster-stricken families.

Final Thoughts
When all you have done in the last 30 or 35 years is going to your work, it is understandable to feel lost now that you no longer need to do that. Relaxing at home is fantastic, but it can get old pretty fast. In reality, doing nothing all of a sudden may even weaken you.
To stay productive after retirement, therefore, you can do any or all of the tasks mentioned above.
