In my younger days before being married, I used to get some entertainment from sports, regularly social meetups with friends and being engaged with colleagues in work projects. These still give me some joy, but I have less or very little to no opportunity to experience these events very often anymore. This is one of the downsides of being retired and older.
My entertainment is mostly with family and the kids' activities. Kids' sports, extracurricular activities, and vacations. However, kids want to be with their friends more than with family as they get older. So I am expanding my entertainment options.
My father was a stock investor. I've always liked investing in and trading stocks. However, based on experience, I've decided that investing in market index is a much better strategy than picking individual stocks, at least for me. It's exciting when I make a good pick.
I will continue to make "bets" on a few individual stock occasionally, just for entertainment. Much better than going to a casino, which I see many older people at when I go to play craps every few years.
