What we’re about
This group is for people who are retired, transitioning into retirement, or planning to retire soon. Its purpose is to provide a platform for people to discuss the issues facing retirees and how to negotiate the exciting but sometimes stressful world of retirement! All topics related to retirement, which is literally a reinvention of the self, are open for us to ponder and discuss. I would like to cover the financial, emotional, practical, and health changes that many of us experience. This is not meant to be a platform for moaning and groaning about getting older but rather to celebrate the new freedoms that we do have while figuring out the best ways to negotiate them within the limits of being an older person. So I see it as both a social group and a discussion group, wherein we will have a topic to "gab" about but also just enjoy each other's company. Locations will be in the East-Central Valley area south of the river (Ahwatukee, Chandler, Tempe, or West Gilbert or West Mesa.
