What- me Retire?: A Guide to a Fulfilling and Satisfying Retirement

By Eli Birnbaum

NOW IN AN EXPANDED NEW EDITION

Most retirement books tell you how to save your money. This book tells you how to save your sanity.

A quick Amazon search reveals thousands of "how-to" guides on finances, downsizing, and wills. But while those books help you prepare your bank account, few address the emotional landscape of life after work.

WHAT? ME RETIRE? (New Edition 2025) fills this critical gap. Walking away from a lifelong career isn't just a financial shift-it's a traumatic identity crisis. This thoroughly updated and expanded edition explores the personal questions that actually determine your happiness in retirement:

The "Who Am I?" Factor: How do you retain your sense of self when you no longer have a job title?

Beating the Boredom: Practical strategies to transition from a "busy" work schedule to a "meaningful" retirement.

Relationship Shifts: Navigating the new dynamics with partners, adult children, and the complexities of grandparenting.

The Dignity of Aging: Unique insights into maintaining independence and caring for aging parents.

What's New in the 2025 Edition:

Post-Pandemic Planning: Fresh insights on navigating the modern retirement landscape.

Expanded Quality of Life: New chapters on volunteering, exercise, and purposeful travel.

Updated Resources: Completely refreshed web links, practical tools, and footnotes throughout.

Whether you are years away from retiring or already facing your first "free" Monday morning, this guide offers the wisdom and encouragement you need to make your longevity a gift, not a burden.

Don't just retire from a job-discover what you are retiring to.
