What Ships
A real book, made to be filled in
The hardcover edition of RetireHub’s guided legacy journal: 52 warm, specific prompts across 8 chapters of a life, printed large and bound to be kept.
The fill-in story journals on Amazon cost $13 and set their prompts in type most retirees squint at. The story-prompt services charge $99 a year. This is the edition in between that nobody makes: a real hardcover, large print, one payment.
Answer one question a week — “What did your childhood kitchen smell like on a Sunday?”, “What was your very first paycheck?” — and in a year the people you love have the book they’ll keep forever.
52 weekly prompts across 8 chapters of life — from your childhood kitchen to what you know now

The 5 Stories in 5 Days quick start
3 guided legacy letters and family keepsake pages
Large print throughout — the edition the $13 journals forgot to make
Why It Works
Why the hardcover matters
A PDF is practical. A book on the shelf gets picked up, written in, and kept.
It's the gift version
Give it to a parent with a pen and the first prompt already flagged — or leave it filled in, which is the best gift there is.
Large print, real margins
Most fill-in journals cramp their prompts into small type. This one is set for eyes that have read a lot of newsprint.
One question a week
Nobody sits down to 'write a memoir.' Everyone can answer what their first paycheck was. A year later, the story is written.
No subscription
The services that mail you prompts charge $99 a year. This is one payment, one book, yours.

FAQ
Good questions before you buy
Is this the same content as the digital journal?
Yes — the same 52 prompts, quick start, and legacy letters, redesigned as a bound large-print book with a full writing page per prompt. If you'd rather print at home, the digital edition is $24.
How big is the writing space?
Every prompt gets a full facing page of generously spaced ruled lines — written for real handwriting, not cramped notes.
Can I give it as a gift?
It's built for exactly that. Many families give it to a parent or grandparent with the first prompt bookmarked.
What if it arrives damaged?
Email jay@retirehub.org with a photo and we'll send a replacement. A real person answers within 24 hours.
