Plan a way to keep yourself engaged with others and useful to society. If you worked for a corporation and retiring at 60 yrs you must have some money to enable you to do this so count yourself lucky. Just to give you an idea, environmental deterioration, particularly global warming (two issues that are connected of course) are very real existential threats. Refilleries are a great way to try to combat plastic waste (plastic is partly made of petroleum). Setting up a refillery in your town or nearby areas that don't already have one would be an excellent way to stay engaged, meet other people who care about others and have a sense of purpose. Refileries are small businesses (although they could be non-profits too) that allow people to use their own containers to purchase goods in bulk - thereby eliminating packaging waste. Hand soap, detergents, spices, dry goods are some examples. Many communities desperately need these places. Of course you can volunteer at hospitals or other such places too.
