About the Author

Hello, I’m Diana Turk, and I’m embracing an exciting new chapter in life!

Originally from the beautiful state of Colorado, I’ve lived in various places across the country, each shaping my journey in different ways. I’m a proud mother of two grown children—my son calls Colorado home, while my daughter has settled in Minnesota.

My path to this next season began when I started searching for a more affordable place to live, hoping to once again purchase a home of my own. But what started as a financial decision quickly evolved into something much bigger. It sparked a deeper reflection on what I truly want for my future—navigating retirement possibilities, building a meaningful social life, finding fulfilling work after 60, and tackling the unique challenges that come with this stage of life.

Now, I’m on a mission to make the most of this second half—living intentionally, frugally, and with a sense of adventure. If you’re also exploring what’s next, I’d love for you to join me on this journey. Let’s figure it out together!
