Texas based Where To Retire was helpful for relocation stories.

I enjoy Money, Kiplinger's, Kiplinger's Retirement Newsletter, Forbes, Where to Retire and to a lesser degree AARP. All provided us with good information to prepare for the big day!

Websites such as bogleheads.org, while primarily a investment forum, have a wealth of information regarding questions of pre and post retirement.

None.
They are all very shallow.

Bogleheads and Early-Retirement are the best 2 sources of knowledge, in my opinion.

I actually found this web site, both the forum and the data side, to be most useful in navigating the decisions I needed to make when moving into the post-career phase of my life. Of course, you'll have to sift through the FUD, but that is to be expected wherever you go for information.

It's unfortunate, but the revenue model and lead times have made print media a second rate source of topical information.

Thank you all for your suggestions and insight. It seems I should focus more on websites instead of magazines. Cal me old school. Hard to teach this old dog new tricks, but I do like to sit down with a magazine in a comfy chair, sometimes. I sit at a computer desk all day for my job....
I am open to any and all suggestions, though! Old school or new school, bring it on. Thanks!

I find that most magazines are focused on folks who are approaching retirement and largely ignore those who are already retired. Perhaps that is because writers get old and stop writing.
