Doug chats with two recent retirees, his wife Elizabeth & friend Dusti.  They share vital tips and lessons they’ve learned, including financial planning, healthcare considerations, and the importance of flexibility and community in retirement.  The group also discusses real-life strategies like writing things down, engaging in fulfilling activities, and easing into new routines.
