I Turned Sixty, I Retired, Now What?: My Journey Into Retirement
"What are you going to do with yourself all day?"
"You're too young to retire."
"But you love your job."
Those are the types of comments Terri Oliver heard regularly when she announced her plan to end her teaching career at age 60. Family and friends, colleagues and acquaintances, all seemed to have an opinion about her retirement. While she loved her teaching career, Terri knew it was time to leave in order to have room for the many other activities she wanted in her life. She had numerous thoughts about the way she desired to spend her days, and needed to make sure she didn't just "fritter" away long stretches of time, then look back with regret.
This autobiographical work recounts Terri's journey into retirement. It starts with her decision to depart teaching, then continues with a way she keeps her days meaningful and purposeful without the daily schedule of a career. Terri discovers, and shares with her readers, her technique for maintaining a healthy and happy retirement.
