I will agree with the others that mentioned real estate. I looked into a duplex when I bought my house, 40k each unit had 3 bed 2 bath. For a while you could buy 3-5 unit apartment buildings for around 100k. I think this is one of the best ways to get a great ROI if you decide to sell and still maintain control of your money.

I am with you. I will never retire. Its just too damn boring. I have friends that are 65 and still get out and work, and that is probably why they are in such good health. I have people calling me everyday wanting me to do retirement planning, but I just don't want to do it. I don't want my money sitting in account where I really don't enjoy the investment. I want to enjoy my investment whether it be in a vacation rental or a commercial property.

I met a guy a couple years ago that was about 65 and he owned a strip mall and the Ace Hardware that was it in it. He invested his money into classic cars and actually had refurbrished a buidling to look like an old gas station on the outside and had the inside set up as a museum for his classic cars. Talk about an investment that you can enjoy!

Here is website. I actually bought an 16' Texaco sign from him and it was a neat experience seeing his museum.
