This is a predictive look at retirement. You
-Travel less, because there may be only discretionary travel.
-Eat less, because appetite reduces with age- this is fact, not fiction.
-Talk less, because not too many listeners are around, particularly if you repeat yourself. Exception-you can talk to yourself. It's not weird, it may be the only option if you want to.
-Have an opinion about everything- with little to do, you become more opinionated, just because you have the time..particularly, about the young and the stupid!
-Become more British..I mean, talk about the weather.
-stop learning, because you are no longer sure you can use that anywhere.
It was to prevent some of these, that there was a practice of old people in India going on a Kashi yatra, in olden times. Or vanavasa, maybe. The equivalent today could be going on a never-ending world cruise..if only someone would buy me a ticket, I'll consider retiring early..
