What to expect
Read by Author Jillian Jonhsrud
Why do we have to work for 40 years and only retire once? Why can’t we take occasional career breaks to focus on the other areas of life that matter: family, friends, adventure, rest, hobbies, our health, and achieving long-held dreams? And what if there was a way of doing so that not only avoided financial or career downsides – but brought profound upsides?
Author Jillian Johnsrud has walked the walk – taking numerous mini retirements that have unlocked work-life balance and a more purposeful life, while also helping rather than hindering her career thanks to simple steps and practical principles that anyone can follow.
She has coached hundreds of people to achieve the same, and in Retire Often she shares everything you need to make the most of every season of life by retiring not once – but often.
Accompanied by a thoughtful foreword from author JL Collins, The Simple Path to Wealth, this book is packed with personal anecdotes, applicable advice, and handy tips, making it a must-buy manual for anyone seeking more freedom and balance in their lives.

Most of us face a false choice: work until we're ready to retire forever, as though retirement is a one-way door. But there's a smarter path. Mini-retirements let you strategically hit pause, realign your priorities, and enjoy epic adventures punctuated throughout your life. Retire Often delivers the practical blueprint for how to do this—without blowing up your finances or career momentum. The key takeaway? Retirement isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. You can experience multiple meaningful breaks throughout your journey while also building long-term wealth.
