Rebuilding a life after 60 isn’t settling — it’s choosing what feels right for this season. Routine, community, and purpose can be their own kind of freedom.

After 60, I did something unexpected: I signed a lease and chose a home base. Not to quit traveling, but to make it easier, smarter, and more joyful. From daily routines to big trips, here’s how creating a landing pad actually gave me more freedom to roam.

After 60 and back in consulting, I started looking for a furnished apartment in a walkable, sunny city. I narrowed it to two places I know well—San Diego and Las Vegas—but only one had the spark, the energy, and the price that fit how I want to live and keep traveling.

The real money truth after 60? We don’t need a fortune to build freedom. One honest look at how earning, saving, and reinventing later in life can open a whole new chapter.

Reinvention never retires™ especially after 60. One unexpected moment reminded me that our skills never expire — and a whole new chapter can open when we least expect it.

Two years ago today, NPR’s Marketplace shared my story of becoming a solo nomad at 60+. I talked about selling everything, living on Social Security, my small nest egg, and setting out to see if I could create a life rich in experiences instead of things. I wasn’t sure where it would lead — only that I needed to try.

Meeting Annette was a literal surreal…YouTube subscribers are touch to find in the wild as she said!
