I've been building layouts since 1968. I've been retired for 7 years, and for me, retirement is like summer vacation all year round. I work on my trains a couple of hours a week, I help with the grandchildren two days a week, I garden, and I meet with a book club once a month. I go to NYC whenever time permits to visit museums. I always have something to do, even nap.
But above all, my "happy place" is my attic where I work on my trains. 😊
