A buckle list for many and a birthday present to us, the Masters experience was a great treat. Yes, it is birthday month again, and this year Curt and I decided to take advantage of our special "in" to the Masters and travel to Augusta, Georgia for the Masters practice rounds. Although it was a month earlier than our actual birthdays, we decided it was the perfect birthday treat for both of us. The weather was perfect and the company great, a perfect birthday gift to ourselves! Join us today ...

Today we talk to Jason Lee, a young retiree who is living his best retired life. Jason is one of the FIRE movement retirees and has found his purpose in his retirement. Climb a mountain? No problem for this guy! He has made mountaineering his retirement signature and is crushing it. We all know that health (mental and physical) is a major part of retirement and Jason tells us how he is using his health and wellness to set goals that keep him moving! Great job Jason and thank you for your serv...

Today we talk to Jeff Balch from Pennsylvania about his retirement adventure on the Appalachian Trail.Many retired folks would love to add this adventure filled hike to their list of accomplishments and for those who are successful it is worth bragging about! The Appalachian Trail is approximately 2160 miles of steep mountain climbs and massive bouldering. Hats off to Jeff! What an amazing retirement journey.

Today we talk to Scott Hirons from Massachusetts and it is an episode you don't want to miss. As a retired person now for over eight years I have found that one of the ways I stay happy is by volunteering in my community. Curt and I know many retirees volunteer much more than we do and we really respect that part of their life's journey. Today's conversation with Scott tells his story...volunteering at a whole new level. Well done, Scott...well done!

Connie Sherwood has a mission in retirement that is full of snuggles, laughter, and purpose. She is the kitty whisperer! Yes, this retiree gets to spend part of her day snuggling with the cutes felines around! This journey not only benefits the kitties she fosters but gives her a great retirement purpose. Good job Connie! (Curt, can I please have one too?)

College buddies! Some great memories of fun times, right? Well, today we are talking with Jerry Lanser and he not only keeps in contact with some of his best college buddies but does great hiking trips with them too! Retirement isn't only about reminiscing about the "good old days" but can also be about reestablishing relationships and building new memories. Good job, Jerry! Hike on!
