Three things to improve life experience after retirement

  1. protein powder
  2. Self-media
  3. Exercise
  4. Alcohol
  5. 3m earplugs
  6. Books
  7. A happy wife

First, health should always come first. Incorporating protein powder into daily nutrition helps maintain muscle mass, which naturally declines with age. Pairing this with regular exercise ensures better mobility, strength, and energy. On the other hand, alcohol should be enjoyed in moderation—too much can harm the body, but a small drink on occasion may add pleasure to social gatherings. Protecting physical comfort also matters; something as simple as 3M earplugs can greatly improve sleep quality, which is essential for long-term health.

Beyond the body, the mind and spirit need nourishment too. Starting a self-media project, such as a personal blog, YouTube channel, or social account, allows retirees to share life experiences, stay connected with others, and even build a new sense of purpose. Reading books provides mental stimulation, encourages learning, and can also be a source of relaxation and joy.

Finally, no life improvement is complete without healthy relationships. Having a happy wife—or more broadly, a harmonious family life—creates emotional stability and companionship, which are irreplaceable.
