Let’s Retire Retirement

How to Enjoy Life to the Fullest—Now and Later

Derek Coburn with Sara Stibitz

Reimagine the traditional idea of retirement and discover how to create a working life you love.

We’ve been told that traditional retirement is the ultimate goal, that life will be better in the future than it is now. We’ve bought into this idea so thoroughly that we continue doing work we don’t enjoy right now for the promise of better days once we retire.

In Let’s Retire Retirement, financial advisor Derek Coburn challenges the traditional concept of retirement and offers a compelling vision for a more fulfilling life. He explores the origins of retirement, debunking outdated myths and presenting a new approach that aligns with modern realities. Through relatable anecdotes and thought-provoking insights, he guides readers to rethink their long-term goals and embrace a life of continuous growth and satisfaction.

Let’s Retire Retirement is more than just a guide—it’s a manifesto for living a balanced, joyful life without the constraints of a traditional retirement plan.


Reviews

Let’s Retire Retirement captures what so many of us have felt but struggled to articulate: The idea of ‘retirement’ no longer serves our evolving lives. Derek Coburn issues a bold invitation to rethink your approach to time and money—and to reassess what makes life meaningful.

A generous, actionable, and useful book—a chance to find connection and meaning by producing value, even as others retire and retreat.

What if instead of retiring, you planned to earn an income in some capacity for the rest of your life? How different would your life be today? Let’s Retire Retirement walks you through the opportunities that open up when you start thinking this way, and gives you practical examples of how to do it.
