About the Author

My name is Michael Cook, and I turned 55 when I decided to write this book. I was born in Astoria, Queens, and have lived in many places throughout the United States, such as New Jersey, Washington, Utah, California, and Hawaii. I was happily married to a wonderful woman for almost 29 years. We had a traditional family life, living the American dream with a big house, four amazing kids (one boy and three girls), and two grandchildren.
From a very young age, I’ve been a business owner most of my life. My first business was a franchise location in the rent-to-own industry that I owned and operated. Five years later, I got licensed as a general contractor and started a multi-million-dollar construction business. A few years later, I decided to take a stab at the food business. I bought a healthy-based smoothie shop and turned it into a healthy food restaurant.
It’s funny how, even with all the life experiences and time that has passed, I never really worried about my age until now. Lately, I feel overwhelmed and challenged by the idea of technically becoming a senior citizen at the age of fifty-five. So many thoughts run through my mind about things I never had to worry about before, such as my health, financial situation, and activities suitable for my age. I have had numerous thoughts running through my mind, and I do not function well that way. I enjoy making checklists. Not only does it free up my mind, but it also helps me stay organized and accomplish tasks, particularly at my age (ha-ha). Therefore, I decided to start writing them down. There are many things to consider that I never thought about before, and it turns out many people are in the same boat as me. This is my attempt at self-therapy, but I also hope it is beneficial for all of us to transition to our next chapter in life as senior citizens.
