    So out of those, the main money eaters will be the one's I've marked with an asterisk*, though most require petrol outlay.

    What are your retirement time uses, and how do you make the money work wisely for them?

    These are mainly my hobbies, my wife struggles to find things that interest her (I have bolded her interests), although she only retired last December, I'm still working one day a week (and at the moment would prefer to continue doing so, as I almost consider that a hobby too).
