Husband and I retired early, he was 57, and I was 55. Most people hear us say our ages and they ask, “What do you do all day?” VERY, very rarely do they ask, “How do you afford it?” This book has NO money talk, it’s all about happiness. NOW in PRINT
To me that is hilarious: before retirement you plan financially, you plan the date, but you don’t take time to figure out what you want to do for 20-30 years of retirement. I have seen it now for five years. How to Survive Retirement
Everyone thinks that you magically know how to retire. YOU DON’T but my book will help you think through what you need and what you want for YOUR life. No money talk, this is all ideas to make your 20-30 years of retirement what you want and need it to be for years of joy. Retirement is talked about just as going off to college is.
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!
PLEASE retire happy!
“If you are unhappy….us other old people don’t want to be around you.”

HOW TO SURVIVE RETIREMENT
Author information:
My name is Beth Ann Strub, sixty eight years old, retired and living in central Florida, about 20 minutes from the white sandy beaches we all love and right on a golf course, which I have never played on, but it’s pretty. I was born and raised in Iowa and have lived in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and now in Florida. I am a quilt designer, book written, I love to swim, cook/eat and family is my joy.
Quilting isn’t just about the finished piece; it’s about giving yourself time. When you start now, you’re not rushing in November, not scrambling in December, you’re enjoying the process one block at a time. A holiday quilt made slowly holds more than fabric… it holds the quiet moments, the steady stitching, and the peace of not being in a hurry.
So I put together something a little special for you.
