Book excerpt: Are you are thinking about it or already retired? You have to find fun, excitement, and joy in your days. 40 years to achieve the retirement goal, and you are not happy, you don't know what to do all day? YOU need a plan.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?"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. 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. FOUR things to except in retirement:1.We are all going to die2.Stop fearing change.3.Stop living in the past4.Be easy on yourself What started out as a sassy article I wrote with hundreds of comments has been turned into this book, here is the book's table of contents:Why This BookInvest in RelationshipsChanges - What are YOU Dreaming?Humor and LaughterIt's Just MeNever Say AgainBe Kind to Yourself and OthersAdd a Little LuxuryA Bit of Time for YourselfBe a Better YouMoving to a New AreaDealing with Elderly Parents20-30 Year Money GuessMy Life LessonsPLEASE retire happy!
