I ended up taking care of a relative a year after retirement (and COVID hit) so that limited my adventures but will be getting back to extensive travel next year. Meanwhile taking care of someone really has been fulfilling especially since I never had (or wanted) kids. I plan to rotate adventures for myself mixed with periods of helping others with my time. Seems to be a good balance.
That is very admirable and a fine way to spend some of the retirement time you’ve earned. Taking care of others is also taking care of yourself and a better long term investment than all the purely financial-oriented ones that dominate the headlines.
