Plus, seeing the world will keep you engaged and interested in the world Unfortunately, as a retiree, money may be a problem for you. If it is, try traveling on a budget. For instance, some websites allow you to do travel exchanges; you allow someone to stay in your home for the opportunity to stay in someone else's home in another location. Similarly, think about other cheaper places to stay, such as hostels and even dorm rooms. Some hostels limit their guests to young people, but others accept people of all ages and even offer semi-private rooms. Also, some universities offer dorm rooms up for people to stay in for cheaper than a hotel. Another option is to explore places close to home.

You could also learn how to play chess or take up gardening. For instance, if you love to knit, find a local knitting club to join. If you enjoy soccer, find a local group in your age range. Check with your local library or the parks and recreation department to find groups. You can also use websites such as Meetup. Whether it's work friends or just neighbors or church friends, make it a point to have social engagements with your friends. Try to schedule an evening or afternoon out at least once a week.

SUMMARY: Take some time to travel. Volunteer your time. Visit your local library. Pick three to four hobbies. Find a local group with similar hobbies. Keep up with old friends.
