The Truth About Early Retirement: Being Together 24/7

We retired early to slow travel the world full-time, but there was one thing we didn't fully prepare for and that’s being together 24/7! In this video, we’re talking about how we navigate our new life together without losing our minds. Slow travel in early retirement has been a blast, but also comes with a unique set of challenges. We’ll discuss 3 important areas to consider in early retirement and slow travel alike: 1. 1:45 Navigating 24/7 Togetherness - How do you maintain your individuality when you’re rarely apart?

Now, we’ve had to reinvent the "who does what." From booking the next month-long stay to managing the daily logistics of travel, we share how we play to our strengths. 3. 16:56 The Money Talk: Bougie vs. Budget - This is the big one! What happens when one person wants to protect the nest egg and the other wants to splurge on high-end, "bucket-list" experiences? We share our tips and thoughts for talking through retirement goals and how we hope to find middle ground between financial security and making memories through new experiences.
