Failing Retirement
Here is a perspective on things you might try in retirement if your well planned and long desired retirement turns into days of nothing to do. Volunteering for a non-profit may offer some way to fill your day without the commitment and pressure of a real job.
South Carolina: As a place to retire I have considered the area around Hilton Head Island as my ideal due to climate, recreational options, and work. Tennis is big in this area so it is first on my list of considerations. If you find yourself thinking about a place to live this may be one good option for you in that you're still on the East Coast, the weather is mild, and you'll have plenty of retirees in the vicinity to associate with.

A World Without Retirement
A world without retirement
Things are not looking good for the future of retirement in the UK. Of course they don't look good in the rest of the Western World either.
My Take: Set aside enough to provide the basics which is what some call poverty. In older years if you friends, food, and a warm and safe place to sleep that is often what you find is all that you need. I have taken care of friends and family in those years and once you reach a certain age the idea of endless travel and living in luxury carries much less importance. Focus on your life now so that if something comes to take you down early you can say you have no regrets.

Londoner Killed by his Dog at Home
As you age the idea that having a dog for companionship is appealing. Think of a dog as a companion and not a self defense tool that is dangerous and with that in mind consider the breed or type that you keep in your home.
