Dude, I'm retired for 3 decades and still would need more time and had to prioritise hobbies. I work voluntarily with abused people, but not because I'm bored but because someone needs to. Besides that i love gaming, coding, traveling, cars, boats, going on daily tours with wifey, reading, music, watching star trek...
But I've seen people retire and getting bored to death a week later. I always found that sooo tragically sad, like they were born to be worker-ants and without work there's nothing left worth living in their lifes.
But yes, the best job is one you actually want to do and are not forced to do.
