About this book

What It Is

A practical and funny guide to the nonfinancial side of retirement. Rita Dennison addresses identity after work, empty schedules, changing friendships, time at home with a partner, spending guilt, health, purpose, phone scams, and finding activities that feel worthwhile.

  • Answering "What do you do?" after leaving work
  • Building a week around meaningful commitments
  • Making new friends and sharing more time at home
  • One hundred activities organized by budget, energy, or mood
  • Recognizing common phone scams aimed at retirees

Many retirement books focus on finances. This one concentrates on the everyday human questions money does not answer: identity, friendship, time, purpose, relationships, and how to enjoy freedom once it arrives.
