Suze Orman Says This Is The Exact Age You Should Retire
Chicago native Suze Orman gives a glimpse into her new life in the Bahamas.

As Hurricane Irma churned toward the Bahamas last month, financial-adviser-turned-TV-personality Suze Orman evacuated to her hometown of Chicago.

The South Side native has been spending her days fishing in the Bahamas with her wife, Kathy “KT” Travis, since her CNBC series "The Suze Orman Show” went off the air in 2015. Orman, 66, gives a glimpse into her retirement life in the November issue of Money magazine, due out on newsstands Friday.

“It’s fun to master something new. I mastered money," Orman told the magazine for its cover story.

A Day in the Life
The routine is simple. She and Travis fish for up to eight hours a day. Travis cooks, Orman does the dishes. On the side of the house, Travis tends to a little garden with basil and tiny watermelon. Downstairs in the basement, Orman has amassed three deep freezers full of fish caught over the past year, enough to survive an apocalypse, financial or otherwise. Their home is spotless and devoid of clutter, high-end modern and gorgeous, but not enormous. When nieces and nephews come over, they like to sleep on air mattresses outside by the fire pit. No wonder the couple call the place Purnata: “perfection” in Sanskrit.
