Here is a giant list of possible retirement activities for RetireMan to try. He will try to try them all and give you an honest opinion of each one. It’s a big project, but these are all fun things to do in retirement and Retireman doesn’t have a job, so he can do it.
If you have an idea for a retirement activity that you want him to try, message him on Instagram @retiremandotorg
