Welcome to my blog
With ages ranging from about 54 to about 73 (born somewhere between 1945 to 1964), many of us in the baby-boom generation have already retired or will be retiring soon. Some of us won’t ever hang it all up and others have already done so much earlier, but no matter where you find yourself at the moment, it helps to know that every one of us is dealing with similar questions, similar issues, and similar opportunities.
This blog is designed to help. On it you will find all sorts of advice, commentary, and pointers to helpful information on a wide range of topics, such as:
As each day brings us closer to (or perhaps we are already experiencing) either the blissful peace and quiet of fishing on a still lake or the terror of being under-stimulated and broke, we all need to gather as much information as we can so that we can face whatever the future holds. Yes, the future is unknown, but we can make it a lot less unknowable by being prepared.
This blog will focus primarily on four areas: Finances, Health, Location, and Activities and Relationships. Whether you're already retired, still in the thinking-about-it stage, or convinced you never will, this blog will provide a wealth of resources to inform your decisions.
Welcome and I'm glad you're here!
