I was the one asking questions of others and then listened to what they said and I tried to follow up with another question. Like most people, I didn't have a glamorous or exciting job but I did travel and got to live in Europe. When asked about what I've done I honestly tell them without embellishments. As to what I'm doing in retirement I simply say I've enjoying life on my terms doing what I want and when I want. BTW, I retired 22 years ago at age 53 and when they ask why I just tell them it felt like the right time. No further explanation needed.
