What’s Retiree Insight Versus Books… Compared (Tested) for Living! We’ve tested many guides attempting to bridge the gap between retirement planning and actual living. What Will I Do All Day?: Wisdom to Get You Over Retirement and On With Living! stands out for its practical, conversational approach. Unlike dry textbooks filled with projections and timelines, this book offers relatable anecdotes and actionable steps. It doesn’t promise a uniform path; instead, it encourages us to define our own meaning by exploring hobbies, connections, and purpose. Our review found that while insight from peers (or mentors) can’t be replicated in print, the book’s structure helps demystify post-retirement life. For us, it validated the journey as experimental and fulfilling, leaving us more inclined to embrace the unknown, armed with confidence rather than anxiety.
