About Us
Retired Life, Wish You Were Here was born from a friendship that has stood the test of time.
We’re six lifelong friends—guys who’ve laughed, worked, raised families, and now stepped into the next great adventure: retirement. Our wives? They were college roommates, so it’s safe to say this journey has been a long one—and a good one.
As we each began to wind down our careers and embrace the freedom that comes with this new chapter, we found ourselves asking: What does a life well-lived in retirement really look like? The answer wasn’t just about slowing down. It was about living fully, doing what we love, and sharing those moments with the people who matter most.
That’s how Retired Life, Wish You Were Here came about.

A Logo That Tells a Story
At the heart of our brand is a simple but powerful logo, and frame that lets you insert your favorite way to spend time. Whether it’s lounging under an umbrella on the beach, boating on a quiet lake, fishing, hiking a mountain trail, playing pickleball, or just taking it easy—our logo leaves space for you to picture your perfect day.
We designed it to be personal, flexible, and meaningful. It’s not just a logo—it’s a reminder that retirement is what you make it. And whether you're already there or dreaming of the day, you’re invited to the club.
More Than a Brand—It’s a Lifestyle
We created an online store to share that spirit with others. From t-shirts and hoodies to hats, drinkware, and bags, our gear is made to celebrate the good life. Just pick the activity or image that speaks to you, and wear it with pride. Everything is available in our online store powered by Shopify, and we’re always adding new designs to reflect all the ways people choose to enjoy their retired life.
