I am 83 years old. I retired when I was 62 and then got a second full time online job that I kept for another 10 years. But sitting around wasn't for me, so I started my newsletter. The difference is it's at my pace and it's doing something I love . . the same pressure isn't there.
I worked for 26 years. Now I'm retired. And I can finally enrich my life with my studies, with physical activities and with nature. Finally, managing my own time. And I'm very fulfilled. The secret is not to be empty-headed.
Great article, Don! I'm in the middle space, looking for part-time paid work to help make ends meet. I've been "looking" for a year now. Nothing steady--a contract book editing job, here, a few one-and-done writing gigs, there. Just enough to stay afloat.
And thanks for the AARP article. I've searched through AARP many times but never found this great resource before.

You have a great gift for optimism. When I read your Substack, I hear your voice and it puts a smile on my face.

Good job. Good ideas. Good show.
Keep up the good work, young man!
