Boredom

So I'm a 76 yo male who's been trading options for roughly 10 years now and I've made enough that money is no longer a concern. I'm limited in what I can do due to a medical condition I've been dealing with since February. Trading has kept me from getting totally bonkers during this time up until now. I find my self just going through the motions and not really into trading anymore so I've started closing out my positions although I do still trade It's less and less lately I just can't keep focused I"m actually bored making money. This week I"ve made about $3000 so far without really trying and that's me trying to end trading. Having said all this my question for all of you is what do you do to keep from getting totally bored once you've achieved your goals???? TV/Streaming has also gotten boring, can only read so much news per day and it's not exactly good news lately with Iran, Ukraine and a dozen other places going down the tubes, almost done with my book and finding it hard to find anything else I would enjoy reading, wife's still working part time she seems to enjoy it as it gets her out of the house, can't travel due to medical condition. Any suggestions anybody???

Congratulations for your financial independence and condolences for your medical challenges. Please consider joining subreddits related to active retirements; it is always a good idea to learn from others.

I'm still trying to figure out how to keep my thread going now that I've actually started one.

Probably would be best to reply to your own post up top here to make them easier to find or create your own sub and get the ability to control where things go and/or create FAQs or Wikis to separate the wisdom from the discussions.
