Full of Great Ideas
I work for a corporation in the financial / investing space, and I often read a lot of content about planning for retirement, but one of the pain points that people face a few months after retirement is their sense of purpose and what to do with their life. I think this book really nails that problem because it gives retirees some more hopes and dreams, plus fun ways to enjoy retirement. I also love how the book also teaches seniors side hustles they can do to make a little income and feel like they are still able to contribute to society.

I know that everyone has a different idea of what retirement means, and what they’re going to do. But sometimes going for a very structured work environment to so many possibilities. It’s hard to focus. This was a awesome book to get me off my fanny and start living life. Life is too short to just sit home binge watching old reruns. Great book.

A Good Listen!
We would all get to the time in our lives when we cannot do as much as we would love to do because our bones and body parts generally would not be able to take the heat. This audiobook gives over 150 fun ways to make retirement fun. Also clearly mentioned in the book is not having to wait till you are close to retirement age before making preparations. Traveling might sound cliché as you do not expect one to travel all through ones retirement years but of course its a good activity. Being adventurous and touring places you never had the time to visit. Also, doing something one loves that do not take lot of energy, exercising more often, being around good friends and family. Retirement years can indeed be fun and has been clearly narrated in this amazing book.
