Retirement FAQ & Tips: Living the Good Life After 9-to-5
Welcome to Retired and Trying — where the world’s longest coffee break never ends. Here are some of the most common questions (and a few laughs) about retirement life, side hustles, and staying inspired.
What is Retired and Trying all about?
It’s for anyone who believes retirement isn’t the finish line — it’s just the start of a new chapter. We share simple living ideas, side hustle experiments, coffee-fueled thoughts, and humor about everyday retired life.
Do you really talk about side hustles for retirees?
Absolutely. From flipping websites to selling T-shirts, I try new ways to keep the mind active and the coffee fund strong.
Nothing fancy — just real, simple experiments anyone can try.
How do you stay motivated after retiring?
Routine and curiosity. Every day starts with a cup of coffee and a small project — a shirt design, a new post, or a new idea.
The trick is to keep trying something, no matter how small.
What’s one simple living tip that actually works?
Simplify what matters, not who you are. Downsize the clutter, keep what you love, and spend more time doing what brings you joy — like that second cup of coffee.
How can I support the channel and keep the coffee flowing?
The best support is following, sharing, or commenting on videos.
But if you want to fuel the pot directly, you can always buy me a coffee.
Where can I find your books and merch?
You can grab T-shirts, mugs, and books — all themed around living simply, laughing often, and enjoying retired life.
How do I stay updated?
I share new projects and updates wherever I’m active — from YouTube videos and Pinterest pins to Facebook reels. Whether it’s a new shirt design, a book release, or a quick coffee thought, you’ll see it first on one of those platforms.
