the BYG blog

where I reflect on life before, during, and after retirement — the joys, the challenges and the unexpected turns. I also write about health (including my own), how to prepare for life’s final chapters, and the financial realities of aging.

My hope is to share lessons learned, spark conversations, and perhaps help others feel less alone on this journey. Whether you’re approaching retirement, already in it, or simply wondering how to make the most of your later years — you are welcome here.
