Dear friends. I recently celebrated my first year of not working. When people ask what I do, I say I'm leading my best life. I honestly am.
But I'm fairly unusual in saying this. Research shows that a lot of people who retire regret it. There's identity loss for some; too much time on their hands for others, and financial insecurity for many.
A new book, Relish Your Retirement by Florance Philip, addresses the challenges and has more than 500 ideas to give women a blissful retirement.
I'll be covering some of the advice in the book, plus lessons and tips from me and two friends, Penny and Veronica.
