Dee shares delicious Italian recipes and honest conversations about retired life — the good, the bad, and the unpredictable. It’s all there, with warmth, humor, and plenty of surprises.

I really enjoy Chandler’s Retirement Life — it’s a channel filled with energy, positivity, and real talk about retired living.
Chandler brings a unique background: born and raised on the island of Guam, with a 23-year Army career and 20 more years in human resources — and now he’s sharing his retirement journey.
His videos are short, lively, and consistent — covering all things retirement in a relatable way.

🎥 Early Video Throwback!
When I first started YouTube, I kept hearing: “Don’t tell your friends or family about your channel.”
Well… I didn’t listen. And I’m glad I didn’t.
Sharing my channel with my brother led to something unexpected — a brand-new channel, a thousand subscribers, and a stronger bond between us.

Happy Halloween from your friendly neighborhood burglar! 🕵️♂️
Snapped this at the Boo 5K, where I somehow ran away with 3rd place for best costume!
(Yes, I stole the show… literally 😄)
Wishing all my fellow walkers, bocce players, retirees, and YouTube friends a fun and safe Halloween.

I’m Robert, and I’ve been living and learning about retirement for over 20 years. Unlike many new retirees just starting their journey, I took the plunge at 58, built a retirement-focused media company, and spent a decade studying and sharing insights on what it means to truly retire well. Now, after selling that company and fully embracing retired life, I’m here to share the experienced retiree’s perspective on what makes retirement fulfilling, active, and rewarding.
Living in a 55+ active adult community, my wife Mary Ann and I have been married for 52 years, enjoying walking, cruises, concerts, and many other passions. This channel isn’t just about the first steps into retirement—it’s about what comes next. How do you keep it exciting, meaningful, and fun for the long haul? That’s what I’m here to explore.
