I of course will want to travel and see the world. I am hoping to one day live the dream of running my own business. Which one day will hopefully run itself, then I will not have to retire. Not sure how I would want to travel hope to be young enough to enjoy it and live it.

When I retire, I will want to see the world. Well, I have been travelling regularly, but after retiring, I will want to travel longer and take my time travelling. I will want to take walks in the parklands, sip coffee at outdoor cafes and watch the world go by. I will delight in watching people zip around rushing to and from work, happy that I don't have to do the same anymore. I will occupy my time doing some charity as well. Certainly I will not waste away my retirement years. I will still be busy with my time pursuing my hobbies and favourite pastimes. If myLot still exists then, I'll surely still be here.

List of things i planned when i retire: 1. Travel around the world 2. Relax and live near to nature or hill station, buy resort and live peaceful life. 3. I regularly go for yoga or any form of exercise which due to my busy schedule, i am not going 4. Enjoy spending time with my children's kids 5. go for regular walks 6. and make myself active in those things which make me happy and i want to do, which i missed due to busy life.

I would like to have enought money to spend my retirement years just traveling and writing. However, I do think it's important to travel when you are young. I did a 3 month backpacking trip across Europe when I was in my 20s, and I've never regretted it, just wish I had done it for even longer. When you are young, you don't mind putting up with youth hostels and grab-and-go meals; as you get older, you like and need more comforts, making travel more costly. See the world while you are young; you won't regret it.
