The answers to all your questions about retiring as a first responder, from the author of Fully Involved, the bestselling guide to being in a relationship with a firefighter.
"First responders' retirement isn't like others. We didn’t start planning early enough. I suspect you haven’t, either."
Everyone faces certain challenges in retirement—boredom, isolation, financial worries, the feeling that their life is no longer impactful—but for first responders, retiring is, in almost all ways, more challenging than it is for civilians. Retirement details and planning are nearly identical for all first responders, and bestselling author Mynda Ohs covers everything you need to know. Regardless of your specific occupation, you will be able to relate: the chances of working in the same field until retirement age or retiring due to stress, injury, or PTSD exist for all first responders. Are you a firefighter, a law enforcement officer, an emergency medical services (EMS) responder? Do you work in corrections, probation, or dispatch? Have you put off planning, thinking you have plenty of time? Or have you already started, but wonder what you've left out? This book will provide both a wake-up call and a checklist.
Mynda is a respected crisis therapist who has counseled first responders on the scene at catastrophic events, individuals managing PTSD, and couples dealing with issues specific to the stresses of all first responder careers and relationships. Her experience is personal as well as professional: she has also been married to a former California firefighter and battalion chief for more than two decades, and is the mother of a firefighter and a juvenile corrections officer.
Drawing on interviews with retired first responders, their significant others, and a financial and tax expert specializing in assisting first responders, as well as the surprises she and her husband faced when he retired from fire service in 2021, Mynda has put it all together to bring first responders the only book they will ever need to retire both wisely and joyfully.
