Make Retirement Nothing but FUN

My Book, How to Survive Retirement

After all the medical and having a view of living and learning from it.
I can only say, “Everyone NEEDS my Book” and I am very proud of what this book shares. How to Survive Retirement

A Great Gift for others, yourself and it’s all about your retirement life NO Money talk.

Looking for the perfect retirement gift? Whether you’re thinking about retiring or already there, this book will help you discover how to fill your days with fun, excitement, and joy. After all, you’ve worked 40 years to achieve this milestone—why spend it unsure of what to do next? You need a plan to create a retirement that feels fulfilling.

When my husband and I retired early (he was 57, and I was 55), we got the same question over and over: “What do you do all day?” Oddly enough, very few people ever asked, “How do you afford it?” The truth is, people spend years preparing financially for retirement but often forget to plan what they’ll actually do during this new phase of life. Retirement doesn’t come with a manual, but it should—because winging it rarely works. That’s where my book comes in.
It’s not about finances; it’s about figuring out what you want and need to make your 20-30 years of retirement meaningful, joyful, and uniquely yours. Think of it as the guide to creating the retirement life you’ve always dreamed of.

This book began as a lighthearted article I wrote, which received hundreds of comments, and has since evolved into a guide filled with practical ideas. Here’s a sneak peek at the Table of Contents:
• Why This Book
• Invest in Relationships
• Embracing Change
• What Are You Dreaming?

• Be a Better You

Retire Happy. Don’t let retirement turn into a rut. As I like to say, “If you’re unhappy, us other old people don’t want to be around you!” This book will help you design a retirement you love—and one others will admire.

How to Survive Retirement with Fun – Beth Ann Doing

Think About What You Will Do in Retirement

Thinking about retirement or already retired? Here are my tips to find fun, excitement, and joy in your days. It took us 40 years to achieve our retirement goal, and I see people struggling every day to find happiness in their every day retirement. In print or Kindle and NOW on Amazon Prime

When Husband and I tell people we retired early, reaching ages 57 and 55, they ask, “What do you do all day?”, very rarely do they ask, “How do you afford it?”

Before retirement, you plan financially and set a retirement date, but we don’t take time to figure out what we want to do for 20-30 years of our retirement. It’s been ten years now and we’ve seen that everyone assumes you magically know how to retire, but the truth is that you don’t.

That’s why I’ve written this book to share my life lessons and help you plan your life for the 20-30 years of retirement. With no money talk, this book contains all the ideas to make your retirement what you want and need it to be for years of joy.

There are just four things you need to expect in retirement:

1. We are all going to die
2. Stop fearing change.
3 .Stop living in the past.
4. Be easy on yourself
These four things may not need to be said, but please think about them.
#1 is one that can help you get up, get started and do what you want.
#2 is fearing change, you will and need to change.
#3 past is the past let it go.
#4 take care of yourself and be kind to yourself.

Here in my book, laugh, read and find your passions by staying connected, keeping your mind active, embracing slow living, and finding your community can help you thrive in retirement.

But ultimately, the key to surviving retirement with joy is to find what works for you and your unique situation. Whether it’s quilting, travel, volunteering, family or something entirely different, find what brings you happiness and purpose, and go for it!
