About
Retirement is the biggest transition most people will ever make, and it comes with the least guidance.
The Anti-Retirement Plan is a guided journal for the part of retirement that doesn’t fit on a spreadsheet. Who you are after the job title. What gives your days meaning. How you want to spend the time you’ve earned.
The question nobody plans for
Every year, millions of people leave their careers. Most of the planning goes into the money. Almost none of it goes into who they’ll be once the work stops.
“Do I matter anymore?”
It’s a question a lot of people carry quietly, and one most retirement gifts ignore. The shelves are full of gag mugs and candles that say “Not my problem anymore.” Good for a laugh, then forgotten.
The Anti-Retirement Plan exists to take that question seriously, and to help people answer it with a plan of their own.
A growing movement
Readers were asking for it before it existed. One wrote in from Chicago, already using The Bedside Business Plan to plan her own retirement, asking for a version made just for it.
Since launch, The Anti-Retirement Plan has earned an Amazon’s Choice badge and a 4.9 star rating. It’s on shelves at Barnes & Noble, Indigo and independent shops across North America.

The Anti-Retirement Movement
Retirement shouldn’t feel like a cruise brochure.
Retirement is a beginning.
It’s the biggest transition most people will ever make. It deserves as much thought as the career that came before it.
You’re more than your job title.
Purpose doesn’t end when the work does. It just needs somewhere new to go.
Money is only half the plan.
Your financial plan covers the numbers. This one covers purpose, identity, relationships and how you want to spend your days.
A retirement gift should honour the person.
Not a joke that sits on a shelf. Something that helps with what comes next.
Who’s behind it
The Anti-Retirement Plan was created by siblings Jana and Brad Boyko after watching their own parents lose their sense of purpose in retirement. It’s built on more than ten years of Jana’s work coaching people through career change, and the same approach behind The Bedside Business Plan and Employee to Entrepreneur, journals that have helped more than 26,000 people.
Jana Boyko
