Introducing Banjo Steve: Retirement Lifestyle Master 

The puppets are taking a break.

Banjo Steve

 

 

 

Steve Ruzansky is living an outrageous retirement lifestyle which is a followup to his outrageous lifestyle leading up to retiring. Banjo Steve is his moniker for comments but the name doesn’t begin to cover all the dimensions. I could tell that Steve had a lot to share with people looking to create an outrageous retirement lifestyle from his comments. As you can see from the interview, Steve could teach a master class if he hadn’t decided to give up the classroom to live a lifestyle which in his words is:

“Kind of like being an extremely wealthy person- only without the enormous bank account.”

Steve says that to him, wealth is:

“the many interests that I have cultivated and the many friends/family that are linked to those interests.

Part of that experience is as a performer, musician and puppeteer in his Pennsylvania community. Pennsylvanians may want to learn more about how they can engage Steve’s services. I am awed by Steve’s mastery of life and happy to share his experience with you. So here is Steve.

When I was finally forced to admit that his judgment was impaired, I tried to understand what was going on and deal with the reality that it mights be something I would face myself.  It wasn’t pleasant.
