About the site

Practical judgment for life after a professional career.

Practical Retiree Lab is created by Mark L. Morrissey, a retired professor of meteorology and author who uses research, simulation, and plain-English explanation to examine decisions without a sales pitch.

Why this website exists

Retirement brings decisions about income, technology, online safety, creative work, and how to stay mentally engaged. The site organizes useful books, tools, articles, and activities around those needs.

How material is developed

Examples are tested, assumptions are stated, technical terms are defined, and limitations are kept visible. Educational material is not presented as personalized financial, legal, medical, or tax advice.
