When we came up with this poll, we figured Saturday would be your favorite day of the week. But then, maybe it would be Friday because you had two days off to look forward to. But, then, maybe you’re retired and every day’s a “weekend” so maybe you have another favorite day.
Heck, maybe it’s Tuesday because that’s when you play golf every week, or Wednesday because that’s the day you get to spend with your grandchildren.
Or, maybe you have such a great job that you can hardly wait for Monday — work is a whole lot better than sitting around the house watching TV, or mowing the lawn, or fighting crowds at the mall…
So, we don’t really know what to expect! Please tell us: What’s your favorite day of the week? We hope you will leave a comment too.
i’ve been retired nearly 17-yrs…everyday is still saturday. i
I couldn’t answer this question honestly. I have been retired over 9 years and have had 5 surgeries, one that required learning to walk again. Which day of the week: I really dislike them all. Since recovering, family is always calling to see if I’m available to take them places or repair something. I want to sell and move, but the wife, well that’s another story.
Every day I wake up in the morning is my favorite day of the week.
Monday now that I am retired as I think of all those having to go to work. Maybe some day again it will be all. Sunday was always the worst.
Sounds like you had the ‘Sunday scaries’ – the anticipation of going back to work.
Being RETIRED everyday is a SATURDAY!
Friday…I limit my alcohol consumption to the weekends only…
I said that I like each one. After all, every day is a gift.
I enjoy Friday because my wife and I go out to eat every Fraday
Every day is a blessing.
I work four tens, so Thursday is “Friday.”
Been retired for 12 years now. Every day is another day in Paradise! I’ve been Blessed with good health and an enjoyable retirement.
We are full timers and Mondays are usually when the weekend warriors have left the park . Mondays mean we can usually get a campsite anywhere, including state parks.
I enjoy M-F, this is when I get up early and drive around real slow and make everyone else late for work. 🤦♂️. No, not really. I am retired and enjoy each day equally. Make the most of every day retired or not. 💥💥💥💥💥.
That’s a great idea. I’ll do that in the RV so I take up as much space as possible. Maybe I could start an old codgers group so we can share the experience. People that are stuck in traffic can watch us sip coffee and read the paper.
Right on Dan. Our club now has two.
Being retired, every day is usually a good day. I tend to look forward to Fridays because I have band rehearsals on Friday evenings. I have been performing as a singer and guitarist/bassist since 1965 and I really enjoy it!
While I chose no favorite day, if we’re on the road, Mondays have a lot less truck traffic on the road. This is because most truckers try to get to their destinations on Sunday night, ready for Monday unload. But come Tuesday – watch out. Ha.
I’m retired. Every day is a holiday. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be weekdays when everyone else is at work and less traffic. 😊
Sunday paper, a good cup of coffee and my hound dog in my lap makes Sunday the best!
Retired! Everyday is my favorite.
Retired now ,dont know what day of the week is it most days unless I look at my phone or watch. LOL
As you said when you’re retired they’re all great and at my age (78) everyday the Lord allows me to wake up to another beautiful day is great. The Bible says we get 3 score and 10 (that’s 70) years for our lives. To me that means every year after 70 is a bonus year, I’ve had 8 bonus years so far and enjoying each one and looking forward to as many as He gives me.
My favorite days are the ones that start with T – today and tomorrow
I guess Saturday, mainly because everyday is Saturday.
I voted for “Like them all” simply because any day I wake up becomes my NEW favorite day of the week.
Sunday and the time spent in the Lord’s house.
When you are retired every day is great!
Used to love Fridays because it was the start of the weekend.
Now that I’m retired I love them all 😉
I’m retired so everyday is a great day. But when on travel and exploring new places I have to discount Sunday and Monday as many interesting stores and museums are likely to be closed. Fridays seem best as the weekend crowds are not quite out and about and many seem eager to start the weekend.
Sunday currently is my favorite day of the week. We have not been to church since last March (2020) and our church service is streamed at 9 AM. Better yet, the service at the church we attended for 20 years (and is 600 miles from our present home) is streamed at 10 AM. So, I get 2 services and don’t do any work on the farm, giving me a weekly day of rest, reflection, and recharging. I guess I found a silver lining in the COVID cloud. 🙂 When we travel in the RV every day is my favorite day.
Sundays in the fall/winter for football!
Thursday is the only day of the week that there is usually NOTHING on the calendar. I like my activities but to have a day to do nothing (or catch up on the somethings) is VERY nice.
Used to be Friday, now in retirement it doesn’t matter.
Every day that I get out of bed is my favorite. Life is short, enjoy it while you can.
Same answer, retired and everyday I get up is absolutely marvelous! Hate when I have a doctors appointment and am asked what day is it. I want to respond “don’t care retired”.
I am grateful at my age for every day I wake up but when traveling it has to be Wednesday. Except for the bible belt, most everything is open on Wednesdays.
any day i don’t have to set the alarm to get out of bed is a good day!
My favorite day is the one that ends in Y.
I’m semi retired and have learned to enjoy each and every moment we can share with loved ones and others.
Please be safe, get the vaccine and mask up.
I love this!
I don’t track the days of the week any longer……. today’s Monday isn’t it or is it Saturday?
Being retired I like them all
It used to be Saturday when I played in a Band. Now it is Sunday. Good TV on PBS.
I said any day of the week. But simply, any day I wake up is a good day! 😁
That’s great, Paul. My version is that any day I’m vertical is a good day (which, of course, takes into account having woken up first). 😀 Take care. 🙂 –Diane
Sunday is pretty great for several reasons, one of them is the Sunday RV Travel with lots of interesting articles to peruse.
Awwww, how nice of you, Bill. Thanks! Have a great day! 🙂 –Diane
When I worked Tuesday was my favorite. Less incoming mail on Tuesday. But since being retired, they all are okay with me.
As bad as it sounds, I like Monday the best. I never seem to get everything done that I want, and Monday is the start of another good week to see how I do!
The reason for week days,
Monday’s are to recover from the weekend.
Tuesday is to make-up for Monday.
Wednesday is hump day.
Thursday is payday.
Friday is POET’S day,,, pi– on everything, tomorrow is Saturday!
Until I can fully retire, they all blend together in a milieu… But I am partial to Sundays, because that’s when you get most NASCAR Cup racing, football and hockey.
Even though I’m retired, my wife still works, so my favorite is Saturday, when she’s off.
When you’re retired, & especially if you’re travelling fulltime, every day of the week is the same. When we are travelling continually to new areas, campgrounds, cities, etc., we may know what the date is but the day of the week is immaterial.
Since we are retired – Every day is Saturday! (Except Dr. Appt. days!)
I don’t like Sat. & Sun. when camping, too many people out.
I have to check every day to find out what day it is. If I am alive, it is my favorite.
I retired ten+ years ago. EVERYDAY for me is “Casual Friday” 🙂
Sunday, because I can usually sleep in.
