What my retirement is shaping up to look like:

Steam backlog with over a thousand games
Dozens of board games
Card games
Gigs worth of TTRPG PDFs
Gigs of Audiobooks
Terabytes of TV and Movies
Snowboarding
Skateboarding
Mountain biking
Off-Grid Van Life
Learning guitar
Learning electronic music production

I dunno. I suspect I won't miss office politics, stressed clients and the rest much.

EDIT:

I forgot to add "painting table top miniatures" and "modding guitars" to the list. Here is a Washburn I modded into a rubber bridge.

I don't know if my old ass will have the reflexes for 90's shooters

Dont sell yourself short. I (50) joined a lobby a few months back and I didn't fully suck.

I'm already bad now, lol.

Unless you plan to retire very early, you should try to learn guitar long before retirement. Learning something, especially music, is much harder when you get older.

I get that you’re trying to be helpful, but playing the guitar well isn’t the goal. It’s ok that it is more difficult to learn as you get older, the point is to enjoy the learning. It’s unhelpful to discourage anyone at any stage of life from learning to play a new instrument or learn a new skill. Enjoy the process when you are free to take all the time you need.

Load of bullshit. You can learn guitar at any age.
