I retired on my 65th birthday last week. I needed to wait because of insurance. I’m single so it’s only me. I can’t wait for Act 2! My Son is an International Pilot for Delta. Hoping to tag along on some of his flights to Europe and Asia!

Ten years ago, at 60 years old, I retired from my job as a Physical Therapist in Florida after working for 20 years. Then I started traveling seven times a year out of the United states, going to Europe, Middle East and Asia. That was the best decision I made in my life.

I traveled with my husband for 7 years around the world, and then we took a permanent residence in France. It's been 18 wonderful years in France. It is coming to an end because my husband, age 99, died 7 months ago. I want to travel the world again, but I am concerned about traveling as a widow. .I am 78. Travel insurance stops at age 79. I am healthy. I take No medications. I wonder if I should just risk paying for my health care no matter what happens without insurance.

We did exactly what you guys did… we quit our jobs at 51 and 53, sold it all and are nomads. Best life decision ever. We also make content as part of our journey. Thanks for the upload.

It’s better to travel as you go… don’t wait until retirement.

A huge factor that helped me decide to pursue happiness instead of more money after losing my job 3 months ago (30 years at the same company) was an online retirement planner. It helped me realize even with pessimistic assumptions I shouldn't have to ever work again and can retire at 55. Just got back from a month-long motorbike trip in Vietnam and planning for Thailand in a few months!

Wow! Turning 55 next week and traveling to Italy and Spain this week looking for that “home” away from home. After my last shift it dawned on me that this is not living, this is slowly dying, working till i drop dead! My cancer patient who is the same age as me going through chemo and radiation reminded me to pursue my passion and live a quality of life!! I’m doing it now!! As you said — we only have one life to live !! 🙏

Your story is truly inspirational. I have a whole career and terrified to give it up out of fear of not having enough money to take care of myself when I'm older but working is exhausting now . I don't have the energy to enjoy life. I love to travel and dream of staying in various countries for months at a time. I'm 58 and trying to figure it all out. Your video has some thought provoking ideas, thank you.

Love this video. We are so conditioned in the United States to think there is only one path to retirement, when in reality there are so many alternative ways to live and enjoy life. We are so glad you shared your experience.
