Those who had travelled extensively during their workdays like to stay home after retirement. They begin their day with a nice cup of coffee, go for a walk, meet friends, read newspapers and eat. They go out to drop grandkids at school, buy grocery, do gardening and take the afternoon nap. Their days are no-hurry-no worry types.
2. Travellers

They love to explore various destinations– from temples to hill stations. According to them, retired life is a time for enjoyment and they are always ready to pack their bags. Age is not an obstacle in travel.
3. Wife’s favourites

That warmth of the shrinked-skinned hands, the cuddle of care and the smart grey hair are all for the spouse to be possessed with love. Romance has no age and many retired people dedicate their time and attention to their partners. Sweet, isn’t it!
4. Dictators

Some believe retirement gives them the right to control over everything that happens inside the house. They micro-manage people and ensure that they know every single detail in the house. Often too much to handle!
5. Introverts

It is true that a job gives a man a security that he needs in terms of both financial and psychological fulfillment. But after retirement some people lose self confidence, talk less and stay away from the spotlight.
