Welcome! I have lived through 50+ happy years of marriage with my best friend, 4 well-adjusted adult children which now include 8 beautiful grandchildren and 3 spoiled grand-dogs. I’m now retired and committed to adding to my bucket list, not kicking it.

Although I dreaded and delayed my retirement, I quickly realized it's not all that bad. Unfortunately, I keep hearing about how other retirees are struggling with the transition to life after retirement. I can relate to the confusion of Medicare benefits, even though most of my working life dealt with the complexity of health care insurance issues.

I decided it was time to gather tips and ideas on how to navigate through what I have found confusing about life after retirement.Also, I’ll be sharing how I am stepping out of my comfort zone to enjoy life to the fullest.

I hope you enjoy my blog "Retire for the Fun of it." You are the reason I’m writing it.
