The part no one plans

Most people plan the savings. Few plan the Mondays.

You may have a pension statement and a rough budget, but what about health costs, where you want to live, and what you will actually do with your time? Without a plan, the first year can feel strange. This workbook puts money, home, health and purpose on the same few pages.

  • Income in five placesOne page lists every source of money after work: pensions, savings, part-time work and more.
  • "What will it cost?"A monthly cost plan and a health and care costs page.
  • Stay or move?Compare housing options side by side.
  • The empty calendarA vision page, bucket list and first 90 days plan.
Plan the Mondays, not just the money.

Is this planner for you?

It's for you if

  • You plan to retire in the next few years
  • You recently retired and want more structure
  • You want to plan together with a partner
  • You prefer paper to apps

It's not for you if

  • You want investment or tax advice
  • You need a detailed financial model
  • You want a printed book shipped to you

Two calm mornings

  1. Print it

    Letter or A4. Print two copies if you plan with a partner.

  2. Start with the vision

    Write the life you want first. The numbers make more sense after that.

  3. Fill in the money pages

    Then use the countdown and 90-day plan to turn it into steps. Review it every year.

Questions, answered

Is this financial advice?

No. It is a planning workbook. For investment, pension or tax decisions, talk to a qualified financial adviser.

Is it only for the US?

No. The pages use general terms (pensions, savings, health costs), so they work in any country.

Is this a physical book?

No. It is a printable PDF you download right after purchase. Print it at home, at a library or at any print shop, as many copies as your family needs.

Which paper size do I get?

Both. You get a US Letter file and an A4 file, so it prints correctly in the US, the UK, Europe and Australia.

How large is the print?

Body text is about 15 point in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed for low-vision readers, with wide lines and big tick boxes for easy writing.

Can I fill it in on my computer or tablet?

It is designed to be printed and written by hand. You can also write on it in a PDF app that supports handwriting or text notes.

Retire to something, not just from work.

A clear plan for the money, the home and the days ahead.
