I've been retired for almost one year now

[Mr.Bill]

10. I've been retired about seven years.

We downsized our housing and moved into a senior mobile home park, something I thought I would never do, but I'm very happy with it and it's really cheap. We are not wealthy, but we get the bills paid and have a nice new compact car. I took on the tasks of dishwashing, laundry and watering the small garden.

It's an older mobile home, so repairs and upkeep have to be done. It was a fixer when we bought it, but we installed a complete new kitchen because we both love to cook and we updated other things as well.

I volunteer at the hospital where my wife used to work. It's very interesting how working for no pay (something else I never thought I'd do) because when you take money out of the equation it leaves just the simple act of working. No worrying about the next raise, or getting laid off, etc. I just go to work and make people feel a little more comfortable in the surgery waiting room. It's easy to do.
