You’ve worked for years to be able to retire. What is the next step in your life’s journey?
• As the man of the house, do you feel pressured to provide for your family?
• How has being retired affected your daily routine now that you don’t go to the office daily. How do you fill your day?
• Do you have more time for family or is your significant other still working?
• Do you have a bucket list? What is on it that you’ve been waiting for retirement to accomplish?
• What is the biggest unexpected thing you have learned from retirement?
• What advice do you have for other men who are retired?
These are some of the topics that we want to know about, but if you have others, please submit those too.

Much of my GMP writing has to do with adjustment to retirement including how writing for GMP has played a key role in my adjustment to retirement. I am wondering if I could attract more GMP views by having a GMP Retired Men’s Column. Any thoughts? Thank you Barbara Abramson for the prompt.
