It’s no shock that retirement
brings about a lot of free time. Some fill it to the brim, while others enjoy a
slower pace. No matter where you fall on the spectrum, blogging is a hobby that
can keep up with whatever speed you decide to take.
Whether
you decide to start your own blog, or just browse through the musings of fellow
retirees, here’s three retirement blogs that we think you’ll love!
Couple Tim & Lynne Martin sell their home, live out of suitcases, and spend
their days touring the world with the money they would have spent on their
Californian lifestyle. Lynne writes about their travels, gives advice to others
who may choose to follow in their footsteps, and maintains a nationally
recognized blog all the while. Read Tim’s take on how they found themselves
traveling full-time here!
2. Retired Syd
Sydney Lagier is unabashedly living a daily pursuit of happiness, whether that’s volunteering, taking piano lessons, or doing absolutely nothing at all. She writes about anything from adopting a stray cat to Christmas traditions to how much she (surprisingly) loves her Apple Watch. Syd is approachable, honest, and fun to read. It’s like catching up with an old friend!

Now that
you’re inspired, maybe you want to start your own blog. While it might sound
like an intimidating venture, know that every blogger is just like you. More
often than not, they’re writing from home, about their everyday life.
What
will make your blog interesting is genuine, authentic writing that is true to
who you are. Pick your area of expertise, be it car repairs or cake decorating,
and write, write, write! Chances are, your friends and family will love it, and
you might even make new connections along the way. Be sure to share your blog
posts through email and Facebook for even more traffic to your site. Who knows
where it might end up!
Above
all, have fun with it. Share your stories, meet new people, hear about
different lifestyles, and reach out to a whole new community, all from your
kitchen table (or wherever retirement has you these days J)!
