Tall Oaks: Living The Retirement Dream
About
You planned for retirement. But did you plan for what comes next?
For years, your retirement planning tended to focus on one question: Will I have enough money?
But once the alarm clock is turned off, the commute disappears, and every day suddenly belongs to you, another question emerges:
What am I going to do with all this time?
At first, retirement can feel like an extended vacation. There are no meetings to attend, no deadlines to meet, and no boss deciding how you spend your day. But when that initial "honeymoon phase" begins to fade, many retirees discover that financial security alone doesn't guarantee a happy and fulfilling retirement.
Retirement isn't simply about leaving work behind. It's about creating a meaningful new chapter of life.
In Tall Oaks: Living the Retirement Dream, the author shares the practical blueprint he developed for what he calls a Non-Financial Retirement Plan—a thoughtful approach to building a retirement around the things that money alone cannot provide: purpose, relationships, activities, personal interests, community, and the freedom to enjoy each day.
Drawing from the retirement journey he shares with his wife, Turner explores how they intentionally created a lifestyle that gives structure to their days without surrendering the freedom they worked so many years to achieve.
This isn't a book about investment portfolios, Social Security strategies, or how much money you need to retire.
It's about what you do after you've retired.
Whether retirement is still on the horizon, you've recently left the workforce, or you've been retired for years and find yourself wondering, "Is this all there is?", Tall Oaks offers ideas and encouragement for designing a retirement that is not simply comfortable—but active, purposeful, rewarding, and genuinely happy.
You spent decades preparing financially for retirement.
Now it's time to plan how you're going to live it.
