Retired at fifty-eight and living the good life with a relaxed Zen attitude—is this possible? Yes, as I will show with the story of my life, a journey across three continents. Financial planning, personal decisions, education, health, family, attitudes and aptitudes, all work together in planning for and enjoying retirement. My goal was to live the stress-free life of a Zen Bon Vivant. I achieved that relatively easily. You can too, if you want. Join me in a stimulating, interactive discussion.

In 2023 I visited the sites of Ancient Mexico: Teotihuacán, Uxmal, Palenque and Chichén Itzá, to name a few. I saw magnificent pyramids, palaces, ball courts and numerous beautiful artifacts. Astounding! Yet these civilizations, technologically advanced and militarily powerful as they were, suddenly vanished. How and why, and what lessons do they have for us today? It will be an amazing journey.
