Congrats on the longevity in your marriage and retirement!

Same place a year later! Wouldn't recommend it July/Aug when I was there either!

Hey Packerjohn, good to hear you're doing well in retirement. Being retired for 20+ years is awesome. Anything you can share that helped make it successful? Anything that has been the best, easiest, hardest to deal with?

It's good to be thinking through that. Yes, I have heard lots of alarming stats on "grey divorce". I think it would be terrible to go thru that at this stage. (or any for that matter). Time...and how we spend it is a huge thing for many. Some are better at it than others. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry I don't have anything to sell you. I just like hearing the conversation. Yes, I am writing about retirement...but that's just something I started doing because I like it. If you want a link to it, fine...nothing to hide or prove here.

Gotta love a good dance!

I agree with a lot of that! And you're right, all the planning can't PREDICT the unforseen...but does that mean we shouldn't plan at all?

I'm not a coach. I do write a blog about retirement. I enjoy writing about retirement and am always looking for thoughts and ideas to write about. I was curious what others thought of the idea.

A life coach that knows retirement aspects might be a good thing.

Oh, and I love good BBQ. We used to do competitions and sell our own sauce. Happy to share any pointers there for sure!!

Maybe that would be what they need to be coached on!

I have put thought to it. Working on some things now. Just curious if anyone found value and positive help from getting coached. Thanks.

See! everyone might need a coach for something. :)

I guess the same way anyone gets coached. Why can't someone coach someone else if they are not retired? Or maybe they are retired and they want to help others retire well.

Why would that make you sad? There are all kinds of coaches out there. If it's an area you are less sure of and could use help or support, I don't know why that would be a bad thing. You get coached by financial planners, supervisors, sports, life business etc. Retirement is pretty important...
