Contemplating OurLife2.0

The Joy of Retirement will become a reference and inspiration for those contemplating early retirement and how to re-infuse purpose and community into your new lease on life.  Within The Joy of Retirement Community we will help share stories, life lessons and advice for initial steps you can take to explore retirement as you choose to define it.

How many times have you heard someone say “Retire?  I don’t know what I would do with myself?!”  How sad it is that many people can’t imagine unleashing their life beyond the confines of work.  With some thought, creativity and planning you can unleash the life you want to live on your terms.  Here at The Joy of Retirement we will explore and share helpful perspective no matter what your life stage to contemplate early retirement, partial retirement or full retirement.

As a relatively young ex-CEO, I have started on my path to explore early retirement despite having three young children — in fact, it was because I have three young children that I decided I needed to work less and live life more.  It is an exhilarating journey and I look forward to getting and sharing lessons with you as we learn as a community.

Most retirement information focuses on the financial aspects of retirement.  Here at The Joy of Retirement, we will also explore  the importance and inspiration of purpose, structure, community, passion, personal development and more.  The Joy of Retirement community will grow to address all of these and more.
