Feature Story

birthday card when it's time to retire. Copy reads: Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly worn out and screaming whoo-hoo! What a ride!

“It’s My Time to Retire!”

“And I’m going to love it!” “Whoo-hoo! What a ride!” You know it’s going to be a fun interview when your guest starts off with, “It’s 18 days till retirement! Or, it could be more… Or maybe not…” Well, just what does that mean? I asked Kim, a younger baby boomer born in 1959, to further explain. She expanded her…

What’s Cookin’?

If your kitchen is anything like mine, it’s the place everyone gathers to talk about their day, share special moments, and ask important questions. And to see what’s cooking.

For me, there is a strong connection between preparing meals and planning retirement. Both need certain ingredients, recipes to follow, and getting the timing just right.

Look for an invitation to join me at my kitchen table where retirement is always on the menu.

More coming soon…
