The Many Faces of Retirement
Our very good friend of the pod, Tim Wade, returns for an in-depth look at what the different ways retirement can look like. Are you single and retired? Are you married and retired? And if so, are both you and your spouse living the life of leisure? Barb and Tim discuss the importance of communication before and after retirement, retirement in harmony vs. discord, and compromise and kindness in your partnerships.
