Seniors today have more opportunities for self-development and community service than ever before, and many have a strong desire to develop themselves and give to others as they age. For many, the years after retirement become a time of search, discovery, and fulfillment. People aged 60-69 report ~7. 5 hours of free time per day more free time once they stop working. In retirement, older men and women spend extra time sleeping/resting and personal care (about an extra 2 hours per day) About of older people say they participate in a religious activity at least once a month.
