'I'm 71, single, and comfortably retired with my dog; I recently realized that I have some extra cash (low five figures) in the bank, and I'd like to buy myself something nice.'
"I Didn't Buy It, I Live It": Retired Adults Are Sharing The Very Best Things They've Gotten For Themselves For Life Post-Work, And I'm A Little Jealous
"Neither one of us is big on things , but as a joint gift to ourselves now that we’re both retired , we offloaded our most hated chores and hired people to take them over. House cleaning , snow removal, and landscaping? Yeah, more than happy to have others take 'em on. More time for us to do anything or nothing."
"Buy quality for any product between you and the ground: mattress, shoes, tires, etc. It makes all the difference! Also,— just got organic solid latex and LOVE them. Didn’t wake once to flip my pillow the first night or since." "This may sound nuts, but a couple of months ago, I went to a hobby shop and purchased a remote-controlled. I took it to the county park and ran it all over the place, wearing out the tires. It gave me hours of fun and sparked dozens of conversations with friendly strangers. I went back to the shop, bought new tires, and ordered a custom-made super fast ‘monster truck’ and a fast battery recharger pack from them.
"I bought a Switch, a PS5, and spent a small fortune at my local dispensary. No, I never grew up. I'm ok with that."
