Actually,the world probably will not end ANy time soon,unless an asteroid hits us. So that is even more of a challenge. We have so many choices of how to use all this time given to us. Yes, some goals would give u some structure when u are not working, which most bps need so much. Or you could cuddle the cute pets at an animal rescue-i dare u not to smile. Exercise w a friend, get some endorphins. Create a project.
Im in s imilar situation, retired and job hunting does not give me the routine i need to stay stable. I Have to decide on a goal and volunteer somewhere.
