I’m Ken, a Maine-based Gen Xer approaching retirement and documenting the transition as it happens.
My wife, Patti, and I are figuring out what this next chapter looks like: when to retire, how to afford it, where we can travel, and how we want to spend our days.
Diary of a Retiree is where I share the decisions, costs, everyday moments, and occasional change of plans. You’ll find weekly updates, videos, and conversations about preparing for retirement—and eventually living it.
I don’t have it all worked out. That’s part of the story.
Personal experiences, not financial advice.
