It all began with a conversation. It was a lovely late spring evening and my husband and I were considering where our life together was going. The kids were well on their own. Our grandchildren were in college and/or on their way. We were settled comfortably into a life of part time work and travel and expectations of new adventures. On the other hand we realized that the house was now too big for just the two of us and its upkeep was taking more time and energy than we wanted to expend. We began to explore our possibilities. We needed to make decisions. Do we move or stay put? What do we tell the family? Can we afford to retire now? And most importantly what will we do? So What Do I Do Now? is a collection of personal stories and practical advice for those of you who are loving your retirement experience, for those of you who are dreading this next phase of your life, and for those of you just beginning to consider retirement. As you read these thoughts on retirement you will be guided to make the decisions that will help you navigate this next adventure and to find your own answers to What Do I Do Now.
