What is a hobby?

A hobby is something that one likes to do in one’s spare time (Webster’s New World Dictionary, Macmillan USA)

A retiree is freed from work and responsibility which create a potential to devote more time to do something he/she likes to do.

Therefore a hobby is the best way to spend time during retirement.

Engaging in a hobby can also lead to acquiring personal fulfillment.

There are many types of activities which can be considered as hobby. However we need to find those which are only suitable for a retiree.

Some conditions for a retirement hobby:
- has recreational theme
- entertaining
- enjoyful
- fun to do
- last but not least can also be used to generate some income

The last conditions can be useful to help a retiree to get some extra money to cover some living expenses.
