Buffalo-based NFB Publishing recently released The Girlfriend’s Guide to Retirement by author Susan L. Klute.
Are you ready to retire? Do you know the steps you will take before you work your last day? Whether it’s something you are considering soon or sometime in the future, it’s never too early to prepare. This comprehensive guide takes you through the author’s personal journey from the time she decided it was time to hang up her working woman’s hat through to the “never-ending vacation.” There are logistical actions to consider as well as goals to make this chapter of your life fulfilling and exciting. Klute is honest and transparent about the challenges she faced and the lessons learned along the way.
Retirement is the time to put everything out there, your hopes and dreams, and yourself. Take the time to map out how you would like this treasured time to unfold. Don’t worry though, as the author is kind and gentle while guiding you through this journey. It feels as though she is holding your hand in the most supportive way.
There are checklists, ways to take care of yourself, and categories of things to think about to replace the structure of work with new activities to enhance your days. With questions at the end of each chapter, it will guide and inspire you to soar into retirement with the hope and assurance that the best is yet to come!
Klute went from stay-at-home mom to an award-winning sales executive and manager at the largest IT distributor in the world and an international manufacturer. In a career that spanned over 30 years, she mentored countless aspiring sales teams and guided and advocated for women around the world through her active leadership role in a global woman’s network. In her retirement, she continues to inspire others through her art and writing. She lives in an 1800’s farmhouse she renovated in the tiny hamlet of Appleton, N.Y., with her husband Robin.
