Six Months Into 2026... Here's How We're Really Doing

How are we really doing in early retirement? In this quarterly review, we're taking an honest look at our progress through the second quarter of 2026. We're reviewing the areas that matter most to us as we build a fulfilled life after leaving full-time work. In this video we share: ✅ Our progress on our passion projects ✅ How we're doing with our health and fitness goals ✅ Our relationships with family and friends ✅ What we've been learning ✅ The wins we're celebrating, the goals we've missed, and what we're changing for Q3 If you're interested in early retirement, purposeful living or simply making the most of your retired time, we hope our quarterly review gives you ideas and encouragement for your own journey. We are Richard and Jackie and we live in the UK. We retired from teaching at the age of 51 in the summer of 2022.
