“For me, in the few years since I have entered my late 50s (I’m 64 now), it seems like the one constant in my world has been changed.  I have experienced more change during these last five or six years than what I faced altogether in the first 50 years of my life.”  This is written by Deb Gilbert in her book Reinventing Retirement Baby Boomer Style: The Activities Playbook. With those first few words, Ms. Gilbert grabs my attention.  I’ve often felt the same way.  Not just the changes in the world, but also the changes in my personal life.  Ms. Gilbert states that how we, as baby boomers, face these changes including retirement has a lot to do with how we plan it.  She understands that baby boomers are a generation that loves experiences. Consequently the way our parents went through retirement is not what baby boomers expect.  Ms. Gilbert provides the “playbook” for moving through retirement successfully whether you are a wealthy retiree or a working retiree.  I highly recommend this book!!
