He has not made any decision yet but "we have often talked about it with Ibu (Madame) Ani, my beloved wife," he said at a press conference here on Thursday.
President Yudhoyono who was in Budapest, Hungary, for a state visit would end his term in 2014 after being in the office for two terms to make him unable to seek re-election.
He said a lot of plans had been talked about with Ibu Ani on weekends.
"Once we talked about opening a fried rice stall but two weeks later suddenly we wish to become a chili farmer," he said.
Some have also suggested that he become public speakers in view of his experience as a president and his international relations.
But there are also others who give other ideas, he added.
"I have not decided yet. What is certain is, God willing, whatever I will do later it will certainly be `halal` (allowed by religion)," he said.
President Yudhoyono on the occasion also said that he would not disturb whoever would be the leader of the country later.
"I would even be ready to help if the leader later needs me to help," he said.(*)
