Overview

Almost every book about retirement is about money. This one is about the other forty hours a week.

The financial side gets all the attention, and it is the part most people have already handled. What nobody prepares you for is the Tuesday morning in March when the diary is empty, the house is quiet, and you realize that work was supplying your structure, your status, and most of the people you spoke to.

One hundred practical tips for the part nobody plans. Each takes a page or two and ends with one thing you can do this week.

Inside
  • Why the first three months feel wonderful and month five often does not - the dip almost everyone hits, and why it is not a sign you got it wrong
  • How to build a week with shape in it, without simply inventing busywork
  • Answering "so what do you do?" when you no longer have an easy reply
  • Two people, one house, all day - the conversation most couples never have in advance
  • Where new friendships actually come from once work stops supplying them
  • Finding a way to be needed, which is what the flat stretch is usually short of
  • Staying physically capable - the six things that decide how these years go
  • The one decision almost everyone gets wrong in the first year
Not one word about pensions

There is no financial advice in this book and that is deliberate. Drawdown, tax and annuities are well covered elsewhere and belong with a regulated adviser. This is about time, purpose, identity, relationships and health - the part that actually fills the days.

Set in large, clear type. Written for people who have just retired, are about to, or are a year in and quietly wondering whether this is it.

You have been given twenty or thirty years with your time entirely your own. That is as long as childhood and adolescence combined.
