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!
