A hobby is something that you enjoy doing in your spare time. It is an interest, a recreation or activity that you spend time on for pleasure and for relaxation.

When you retire from work you will have time to indulge in your favourite hobby or pastime that will help to overcome your boredom. You may also want to try out new hobbies and learn new skills.

You can learn most of the skills from books, DVDs or attend classes that teach them.

Here is a list of 10 popular categories of hobbies you can try.

1. Arts and Crafts - creating objects for functional and decorative purposes such as making candles, ceramic plates and executive toys, jewellery making, making porcelain figurines, glass sculpting, quilting;

2. Collectibles - collecting art, paintings, antiques, beautiful dolls, memorabilia, model scale cars and trains, vintage wine, unique cars, stamps, ancient coins, number plates;

Many people, while enjoying their favourite pastimes, have also turned their hobby into a business and supplementing their retirement income by writing books about their hobby or selling their products locally or on eBay.

For instance, if you enjoy going on golf trips or going on cruise packages, you can write a book on your golf trips or the interesting places you've visited during your cruises.

You can also run your own classes to teach others the skills you learned from your favourite pastime. If you enjoy baking cakes or making fruit preserves, you can sell your products in your local market.

This is a great way to earn extra retirement income while having fun.
