I Retired 26 years ago and have no regrets.

by Lon
(Fresno, Ca. USA)


My first wife died in 1989. I remarried three years later and retired. Wife & I then spent the next 25 years spending 6 months of each year living in a Golf Course Retirement Community in California and 6 months in Christchurch, New Zealand. Many trips to Australia, Fiji, Tahiti, and other South Pacific Islands.

I am now 84 years old and living alone in a beautiful Assisted Living Facility in California.

I Am 86 Now & Stiil Living In Assisted Living
by: Anonymous

I have been living here in Assisted Living since 2017 and like everyone else, I am suffering COVID FATIGUE.

I have had my two vaccine shots as have all the other residents and care worker staff.

I am feeling good and still enjoying retired life despite my limited mobility. I am just in another phase of retirement.
