100%!

We are aware of the tremendous privilege we have of being able to get off the worker-drone hamster wheel (John never met a metaphor he couldn’t mangle), but since we could – we did. Thank goodness! (And, all age jokes aside, the picture was even better for me than for Lisa since we’re a few years apart. I technically moved here in my 40s(!))

When we’re young, we have our health and (hopefully) time, but not money. Then we worked, and worked, and worked. By the time we have enough money, sometimes we no longer our health or (sadly) time. That is why when our “Kevin” (whose name is “Casey”) gave us the green light to retire, we started the moving to Portugal process the following week, and submitted our retirement notice 4 months later. No regrets, no looking back. Maybe one regret, we should’ve done it sooner 🙂

So sorry for the slow response, Hailey! 🙁 Since we’re ahead of our blog posts by a couple/few months, this past couple weeks has been selling our house with all that entails, pre- and post-. The dust has finally settled, though. Thanks for reading. 🙂 And by all means, if you’re in the neighborhood after March give us a nudge.

We’ve had these exact conversations in our home. We even have a “Kevin!” His name is Jay, and we always have to say “sooooo, Jay….” Congrats on your blog and your journey. We hope to be in Europe one way or another by March. Cheers! (Americans & FriendsPT group)

I’ve seen too many people that couldn’t enjoy retirement the way they planned or didn’t make it to retirement to work longer than I have to.

The earliest is 5 years, 19 days and counting and I know this because I am counting.
