Leisure? Nah.

Leisure is boring if you have too much of it. I can see if you worked with your body all your life (construction, trades, etc.) but if you sat at a desk (like me), who the heck wants leisure?

my aspiration in older age

I do not aspire to a retirement of leisure. While retirement is another 20+ years off for me, and I don't think I'll reach financial independence before then. I'd be much more interested in participating in the life of my multi-generational community during my retirement years than to live out my days totally buzzed on leisure.
As for recreation and leisure, I'm looking for ways to add more leisure to my life now instead of 20 years from now, but again, it won't take up my whole schedule.
