    How to Amp Up Your Social Life in Retirement

    For the last few decades you've spent more time with the people at work than any others in your life. Even if you've been looking forward to that endless vacation of retirement, many people experience an unexpected sense of loss because they don't realize workmates are actually a big part of their social life.  How do you rewire your social life after retirement? This episode gives you a list of 1000 ways (ok, maybe 24 or so:) to recalibrate your social life during retirement.  Don't forget to subscribe to our podcast to get notifications when we drop new episodes.

    Retirement v Rewirement: Changing the Way you Think to Enjoy Your Future

    Why do some people continue to work at some level after they retire? Does retirement  mean you have to quit working altogether? Does it mean part-time work? Or does it mean redefining work entirely… thinking about work differently? Maybe a better term for retirement could be…rewirement.  In this episode, Jill, Ann, and Greg (aka "Frenchie") challenge the very definition of retirement. At about the 26-minute mark, we welcome our guest, financial adviser Bret Forsyth, who shares his insights on strategies for helping retirees transition from an accumulation mindset to a "decumulation" mindset—spending the money you earned— without paranoia.  Follow us on Facebook to tell us what you think and suggest new episode topics: https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=the%20paranoid%20retiree
