From Someday to Today: Retirement in Portugal With Cynthia Wilson & Craig Bjork
Chef Cynthia Wilson and Craig Bjork had envisioned retiring to Portugal "someday," but when COVID brought their bustling food truck business to a halt, "someday" became "today." Despite their contrasting personalities-Cynthia, a creative dynamo, and Craig, the embodiment of laid-back calm-they’ve created a life of joy, affordability, and deep community in Portugal.
If you’ve ever dreamed of a bold retirement, no matter how unconventional, this episode might ignite your passion to pursue it with the same vigor (or even more) as you did your career. Your someday could start sooner than you think.

Boomer Grandma With A Little Edge
Переглядів 85Місяць тому
Every generation tends to blame the one prior for its problems. Right now, the Baby Boomers are taking most of the heat. Today’s guest empathizes with the premise, but she has a few notes. Inspired by her own family's intergenerational dynamics, Shannon Nelson’s musings about the clash between Boomer and Millennial parenting styles spilled over onto social media. And, well, apparently, a lot of...
MARTA: Public Transportation For Retirees
Переглядів 39Місяць тому
On my first date with my future wife, I picked her up in an Uber. I played it off as a romantic gesture, but the truth was that I didn’t own a car. I’d given it up because I love public transportation. There’s just something about it. You can clear your head, get work done, and actually see the city rather than focus on the traffic. Atlanta’s version of the LA Metro is called MARTA. The Metropo...
I Used To Be Somebody With Carl & Diana Landau
Переглядів 47Місяць тому
In the first part of our lives, we’re busy working toward a career. Then we’re busy doing it. By the time we’re done, we’ve gotten pretty good at whatever it is we do, so it can be pretty intimidating to try anything else. What if we’re terrible at it? Carl and Diana Landau want all of us to embrace the idea of being a beginner. As co-authors of the Amazon best-seller Pickleball for Dummies and...
The Federal Bureau of Happy Retirements with Jerri Williams
Переглядів 582 місяці тому
I’m a massive fan of books and movies about the FBI. If my wife sees me reading, she can often assume it’s some story about counterintelligence or criminal profiling. One night, I was enjoying a podcast called FBI Retired Case File Review, and it dawned on me that as someone with my own podcast, I could just ask the host to be a guest. To my delight, she agreed. Jerri Williams retired after ser...
Carving Out A Spooky Retirement: Halloween With Ken Klinker
Переглядів 622 місяці тому
Ken Klinker loves carving pumpkins. He started doing it for his kids 30 years ago. He’d come home from work and head straight to the shed-eager to sculpt some groovy orange gourds. His wife spent so much time alone in the house that she started calling herself “The Pumpkin Widow.” But retirement has given Ken the freedom to turn that passion into a thriving core pursuit that even pays for itsel...
n Between Songs: Gregg Russell Is Happy In Harbour Town
Переглядів 913 місяці тому
If you grew up in the South, you’ve probably heard Gregg Russell sing. If you were lucky enough to vacation on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, you’ve probably heard it live. He’s been singing for kids and their families in Harbour Town under a 300-year-old oak tree since 1977. Two of those kids grew up and made a movie about him. The Gregg Russell Story became the #1 trending documentary on...

    EVERYONE should pay SS tax on 100% of their income... like us poor people do....lol. The rich only pay on their first $165,000? And the other two million they make is tax free? That is BS. We need to change that rule immediately. We would solve the SS solvency problem on the spot.

    My 60-year-old sister had a great autonomous remote marketing job for years. Then her company got acquired and the job disappeared. Now she can’t find a similar remote job. Maybe it’s her age, but there’s another big change: she's learning that the rest of the educated world-not just Americans-are her remote jobseeker competition now. She doesn't have a hobby that can become an income overnight, so she's in a bit of tough spot.

    @Bondbeer 5 місяців тому

    When doing the break even calculation you should include the number of years from today. For example if you are 62 today and decide to defer until 70 and break even is 82 then it’s a 20 year break even not 12. Why? Because you can die anytime between now and 82 to come out ahead claiming at 62 and need to live 20+ years to come out ahead when deferring.

    Please someone explain if the spouses are working for government, particularly prosecutors attorneys for the government, the city. How does that work cause? I understand they get a pension and at like teachers they don't get social securities. Do people that work for the government? Such as prosecutors and attorneys that work for the government. Do they get pensions and no social security? I can't seem to find information and social security when you call them. Have no idea

    Some notable exceptions notwithstanding, Phil’s improvisations had a juvenile center of gravity. An auto aficionado at Florida’s Amelia Concours d'Elegance ejaculates on the seat inside a sexy Alfa Romeo. Jay Santos secretly films neighborhood women undressing. Steve Bosell defecates into the mouth of a sleeping coworker. Jim Sadler explains the pros and cons of sticking your thumb up your opponent’s rectum when wrestling. Phil’s scatological humor (“stick it up hard left and twist it”) isn’t classy. It appeals heavily to eight-to-sixteen-year-old males. No wonder Phil only has a cult following.
