Retired Life… And 3 Year Old’s

Have you ever wondered what retirees do all day? Actually, Retirees and 3- year- olds have a lot in common. My Little Dude & I embarked on an adventure into the life of retirees. We took a break from the cold, snowy weather of Philly and thawed out in beautiful Florida for 3- weeks. We stayed with my lovely. Retired. Parents.

What do retirees do all day? This is a question I pondered as I ventured down to this southern state. I know my life was focused on this 3-year-old and the challenge of trying to remember to cover the basics for myself- food, water, and caffeine. As the temperature dropped and indoor activities took precedence, the idea of retired life with a 3 year- old seemed so distant that it would require a Flex Capacitor – thankfully air travel brought my 3-year-old and me to the land of retirees. With this being said, whether someone has a 3-year-old or not, it is all about being able to prioritize life during retirement. If this isn’t done, life can start to get a little boring.

During my trip to this distant land, I found 3-year-olds and retirees have a lot in common.

Top 10 Things Retirees and 3-year-olds have in Common.
