The Complete Guide to a Creative Retirement
by Rob Kelley (TurnKey Press 2003  $17.95)

Written by a Baby Boomer who retired from teaching
at age fifty to take up writing and develop a new
lifestyle. "Searching for activities that were personally
fulfilling and not just time-filling became my goal. I
believe that any retiree with a little reflection on what
they enjoy the most, and some creative thinking on
how to obtain their goals, can enjoy an immensely
rewarding retirement. I also believe that age, wealth,
and education are only limiting factors if you chose to
perceive them as roadblocks, Those who remain
young at heart will enjoy new adventures well into
their eighties."

The first part of the book includes chapters on
Strategies For Early Retirees, Five Alternative
Retirement Lifestyles, Impacts on Marriages, and a
Planning Guide to Develop New Goals. The second
part contains well-researched articles on projects,
such as garage sales, home renovating, learning
vacations, hobby courses, starting your own business,
ocean cruises, house boating, Mississippi
steamboating, family history research, retirement
communities, supper clubs, family reunions, dancing,
tai chi, benefits of gym memberships, nature
photography and creative cross-country vacations.
Eighty projects in all.


Highly Recommended
for people who wish to
pursue an active retirtement.
