I just finished a fun little retirement book called 101 Fun Things to Do in Retirement. We've discussed a few issues around retirement activities in previous posts.

I had heard of the book (of course) and since this friend has regularly suggested great books for me to read, I added it to my list (which was pretty long at that point). I got to it sooner than I expected and devoured it within a couple days. To say I loved it is an understatement. … [Read more...]
