Well, I am retired now and just getting back to crafting. I had always wanted to quilt some and crochet! so started with the crocheting and then found this site after surfing around from craft sites to craft sites! The more I came back to this site, the more I wanted to get started. I do have the time to work as I please, but I still find I have other things that need attention too, like the house, dinners, yard work now that the weather is nice, laundry etc. So whenever I can I sew or look at what to do next! So far it has been a joy!
When I was younger I watched children as well as my own, that never really gave me time to craft and then I went out to work after 16 yrs of watching kids! Wow it was like being an adult again! lol But cashiering for a grocery store is quite wearing on the body and I ended up with some back issues and after PT for three months and out of leave, I made the decision to "retire". So once you get to that age of "retirement" be it young or older, you will find the time to do the things you never had the time for.
