Doug chats with his wife Elizabeth about her first year (and few months) of retirement while answering questions from the Facebook group. They also discuss a post from Instagram called “The 6 Luxuries of Life”.
Questions answered:
- James C – How has the amount of time you spend managing your finances changed since retirement?
- Michael H – How did you get so lucky to end up with Doug? What would you tell another wife that is similarly worried about lack of regular paychecks? Did April’s quick downturn scare you?
- Sheila A – Does Elizabeth think she should have quit even earlier?
- Todd N – Anything she would have done differently in the past 6 months?
- James T – What did Doug say or what life changes convinced you to take the plunge?
- Seth E – What are some of the unexpected benefits that’s she’s experienced since retiring?
- Cait Y – Are you enjoying your time or do you miss the structured work week?
- Diania – How do you manage so much time together? Or do you have enough independent interests that you have enough space from each other?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
