Welcome to Retirement Monkeys. We developed this site as a creative outlet for our journey through retirement. Nothing is off limits as we explore what it takes to retire and how to navigate this phase in life.
Who we are: Sue Johnson retired from a career in international development in December 2018. Her first bout with retirement was a complete failure as she took another position in February 2019. She re-retired in August 2021 and hopes that this time it will stick! Kathy MacDonald worked in the financial world specializing in international tax until her retirement in 2021. She un-retired in 2022 to take on consulting work. She does hope to retire again soon. Her brother, Robert MacDonald was a financial advisor and life insurance specialist for most of his career.
