“Outdoor clambake”
We had our artist depict RetireHub members enjoying a decade party together!

Embracing Rebirth, Redirection, And Meaning This Spring Season
Alright, I’ll admit it (or in this case, write it) – I have a deep affection for winter. There’s something about the crisp air, the blanket of snow, and the cozy evenings spent nestled on the couch with a warm, soft blanket that fills me with contentment and joy. However, as spring approaches, I find myself endeavoring to welcome it with a fresh perspective and insight that I’m eager to share with all of you.
As winter gives way to the gentle embrace of spring, the world awakens to a season of renewal – a time for rebirth, redirection, and the pursuit of meaning. This year and as a woman of faith, I am focusing on a deeper significance of spring’s arrival and the opportunities it presents for spiritual growth and renewal.
The Best & Worst States to Retire in 2024
The decision to live somewhere new during your retirement is a big one, with many factors at play. One of the most important ones, of course, is knowing how much your state will tax your retirement income and the overall cost of living.
Those factors alone put some states out of reach for many people over 65, as some places impose high income and property taxes. That said, you might decide to live more leanly in exchange for a state that represents your values and offers the cultural and recreational opportunities you enjoy most, whether that’s biking or museum-hopping. To help you make this big decision, we sifted through pages of data to come up with the 5 best and 5 worst states to retire to.

Hero Garbageman Rescues Man, Woman, and Dog from House Fire
GNN often reports on lifesaving rescues by firemen, risking life and lung to pull people from burning buildings, but these two are not firemen, and are a different sort of hero.
They’re heroes, no doubt, but by trade they haul trash. Nonetheless, while working in Tipton, England, on Tuesday morning, they saw fires ripping through a small brick townhome, and rescued a man, woman, and their dog.
