Well thought out video Sabado! I retired at 56, now 58. My wife has 19 more working years left. I've never been bored one day. I'm busy all day long. I miss the rat race sometimes. (Maybe 2 minutes a week. lol) I'm thankful I could retire early. If your life span is 76 and your health span is 66.1, I figured I better get busy enjoying my last decade...
Well said! I retired at age 62, and I have people who are not happy for me, as well. I am always confused by their attitude, but I am not allowing them to have any effect on my plans.
Thanks for the comment. I guess it goes to show how much others dislike their jobs and resent the fact that someone was able to escape. Seems to stir up jealousy.
Very good insight into your journey one year in. Thank you for sharing. Any consideration to working part-time? Slightly off-topic and if you don’t mind me asking, what did you guys do for healthcare? ACA seems to be what most early retirees use, but it can limit pre-tax spending and tax planning opportunities (i.e. Roth conversions) early in retirement. Enjoying your perspective so please continue to “do what you do”😎.
Great questions. Yes, I have given some consideration to working part time, but not sure what i would want to do. Perhaps once I finish the Master Gardener Program, I may consider working at a local nursery. Regarding healthcare, the ACA seems to be a popular option. We are part of a group plan offered to retirees by a previous employer. Thanks for the comment.

My sentiments exactly. Thank you for the comment.
