Go Back to School with Richard Eisenberg EP 99

Hello and welcome back to another episode of 'Age Better’ where each week we take a deep dive into all the ways we can feel better, look better, live better, and age better. I'm your host, Barbara Hannah Grufferman. A few weeks ago, I read a terrific article written by Richard Eisenberg, who is my guest on the show today. In it, he talked a bit about the different paths people tend to take when they retire. Some go on to other jobs. Many find ways to serve by doing volunteer work. Some do actually play more golf. And yet others decide to take the “self-improvement” route and go back to school. In his article, Richard wrote about one school in particular that I found fascinating, and that is what we talk about today. Here is a bit more information about Richard Eisenberg: Richard is an "unretired" journalist and podcaster. He writes "The View from Unretirement" column for MarketWatch and writes regularly about Medicare on Fortune.com. He also freelances for Next Avenue, AARP, and others. He is the co-host of the "Friends Talk Money" personal finance podcast for people 50+ and Digital Media Strategies Director for the NYU Summer Publishing Institute. He is the former Managing Editor of Next Avenue and former Executive Editor of Money magazine. He is author of "How to Avoid a Midlife Financial Crisis" and "The Money Book of Personal Finance." Whether you are thinking about retiring, already retired, or even just a little curious about this stage of life, this episode is for you.
