Hello there! I’m Richard, a 69-year-old retiree, and I’ve been on this retirement journey for about six years now. I’ve been blessed with a wonderful wife, Wendy, who’s been by my side for 42 years. Together, we’ve built a life filled with good food, good wine, and a love for travel. We’re the proud parents of two incredible adult children and, perhaps the best job of all, grandparents to three beautiful granddaughters who keep us on our toes!
When I first retired, I quickly discovered that retirement is about so much more than just “kicking back and relaxing.” It’s about staying active, exploring new interests, and filling each day with things that bring us joy, meaning, and maybe a little adventure. Retirement is an exciting chapter, full of possibilities, and that’s exactly what inspired me to start Retiree Roundup.
What Retiree Roundup is All About
Retiree Roundup is more than just a blog; it’s an online community for retirees and those nearing retirement. Here, we’ll dive into the many aspects of this new life stage—covering everything from health and wellness to travel, hobbies, finances, and even a little tech to keep us up to date. Retirement isn’t about slowing down; it’s about embracing each day with a sense of purpose, curiosity, and a dash of humor.
You’ll find tips, stories, and ideas to help you get the most out of your retirement, whether you’re already there or just getting ready for it. From advice on staying fit and trying new recipes, to exploring travel destinations and even navigating today’s gadgets, Retiree Roundup is here to make this chapter your best one yet.
I hope Retiree Roundup becomes a go-to resource and a gathering place for retirees looking to make the most of every moment. Let’s learn, laugh, and celebrate this journey together. So grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine if it’s that kind of day), and join Wendy and me as we explore the endless possibilities of retirement!
So, once again, welcome to Retiree Roundup—where the best is yet to come.
