I have 2 neighbours who fit this bill.................
one in early 80's, wear a colostomy bag, in good health, smokes but keeps active only only gave up manual paying work 2-3 years ago.
Other redunancy / retired 2-3 years ago, uses my recycle bin every 2 weeks and half to 3/4 fills with alcohol cans (plus what he puts in his own), not there a lot so don't care, doesn't read, just about active and has no purpose or feels like he has none, 20 plus years younger than other guy.

Sadly I think I know who will go first.

And No taking to neighbour with alcohol prob is not going to happen as those including family who have tried have been told to F OFF and mind own business.
Those who retire TO something, tend to have far more enjoyable retirements than those who retire from something.
