I bought a $64 projector on Amazon hooked it up to my $100 Roku and we watch Amazon prime video on the wall in our bedroom from bed! We are in the middle of watching Little House on the prairie all seasons
I found this video of yours the second time and wanted to let you know that I bought your multicolored travel light as a Christmas gift for my brother last year. He really likes it and it's a perfect size and really adds a little accent to his entryway table in his apartment! It really makes a nice gift for someone.
That’s a nice tv system. I have a 65 inch tv and a great Denon stereo. I worked for cable tv up here for many years and I am used to watching television 👍👍✌️
You two are great. I enjoy the honesty you project. I'm retiring next month and seeking all the advice I can find. You have helped me with some worries I face. Keep up the excellent work.
I would definitely not want to live near you with that big screen and big subwoofer! 😂 I like all of your ideas although I don't travel at all anymore. The little lamp that you bought looks really really nice so I may have to use my Amazon Prime and order one❤ last thought is that I got an Amazon Prime Visa card that gives 5% back for all Amazon purchases and one to 2% for everything else. I have already gotten back about $20 in the last couple of months because I try to put everything I can on that card and pay it off every month. Also my first prime purchase with that I got a $125 coupon off of what I was buying, so I've been totally thrilled with my new Prime Visa!
y'all make sure and go to the Florabama. Its an indoor/outdoor bar on the Alabama/Florida border. Lots of live music, right on the beach. And order a Bushwacker to drink! YUM
We moved within driving distance of Las Vegas, and go to a casino in the suburbs. They are more country people, like us, the prices are not Vegas prices, free meals, and unlike Vegas they have good payouts. (One of) our new fun spots.
@@ThisIsOurRetirement Everybody can retire with some forethought. And planning which is essential get real, folks. Everyone WILL retire some day. Choices are preferable to accidents for most people.
I like the idea of the mood lamp and the light weight carry-on. Can you share what carry-on you are ụsing? Thanks and keep on making these great videos!
Very interesting discussion again. I have a Prime. It is great. I also love my air fryer. Would a VPN give me access to BBC iplayer in Europe I wonder?
I have two tv's but no cable or internet. I have two cell phones and pay total 61.00 month. Instead I'm going to get a cleaning gal. I watch all on the phones.
@This Is Our Retirement thank you. I'd like to say that your videos are so helpful. I'm 32 and just stumbled upon your channel. Your experience is invaluable and is helping me to prepare for my future retirement.
What is the luggage brand? I spend all year looking for high quality light weight luggage for carry on and checked luggage and never can find anything that’s not going to tear.
We don’t have a link for the luggage , the company is “IT” you can get them at Amazon or Walmart , we got ours at a local luggage store in Canada 🇨🇦 they have a few lightweight ones not the exact one we have Dell . Have a great weekend Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
Is it possible to introduce how to get all other advantages of prime member，such as VPN、clouds、 audile and stream TV. I have prime member but do not know how to get other benefits. Thanks a lot😊
I had a projector. Loved it. You may interest to know that I was rally able to project on any wall. No screen necessary. Once I even used the garage door for the neighbors on the Fourth of July.
Awesome, we are thinking of taking it to our trailer for outdoor movies, we bought a roll up screen that we can hang from tree branches…fun times in retirement lol.
Thank you for all the awesome tips! You mentioned a light luggage and we're always looking for low weight. What recommendations do you have? Thank you!!!
Your channel is one of the best on You Tube. I think it should be on mainstream TV, too. It’s educational as well as entertaining. I learn so much from every video. Thanks for taking time to enrich the lives of so many with your videos.
It’s a low powered computer speaker system and the base is turned to lowest settings, no complaints. The walls, floors and ceilings are concrete with drywall.
Have you ever mailed stuff to yourself in advance of going overseas? Do you recommend just picking up items I’m thinking toiletries in countries you travel to vs packing them in Loved the video btw
No we haven’t mailed things in advance, we often take mini travel size toiletries then buy large ones when we arrive if we go for say a month Glad you enjoyed it Paul Cheers 🍷🌺🙂
You guys sound just like my husband as far as loving retirement but with more money. How do you guys live on your retirement income on a budget when over half is for rent. Also, you must have a large nest egg to fall back on to be able to take the trips you do and have a trailer . How do you manage all that.
Great recommendations. I retire December 1, 2022 so on my way. I have had Amazon Prime for years and didn't realize all the other benefits. Thanks for the advice.
POrtable home theatre ? wat's dat ?? . . . my Sony am / fm radio would suffice ! ! - low battery usage, rechargeable, and like having a babbling sibling around the house all day ! ! hehe.
Its hard to really appreciate arriving at a retirement, whatever age one takes it. So many dont. Especially a happy retirement. You have to have lived a somewhat honest, somewhat clean life
It is hard to know when to retire but it helps if you have a plan on when to do it follow your heart ❤️ and enjoy the rest of your life Clark Cheers 🍷🌺🙂
@@ThisIsOurRetirement hi. Thks for replying. Here is something curious, that i kinda like. You arent the first to respond to me as Clark. What is it you see as my posted name? I never bother to hide my real name. The post says Ian Stewart yet you call me Clark. Thats a pseudonym I invented 20 plus yrs ago. Somehow youtube uses it. I post comments 1 to 10 times a day all over channels I like. If I am hidden, thats fine with me!
We have the 5.7 litre size and it’s perfect for the two of us we like the one basket there is a link in the description to the one we have we hope you enjoy yours Cheers 🍷🌺🙂
What a great topic for discussion! We had a think back on all of things we’ve purchased to add value to our 16 years of retirement. Now, that was quite a list for us!! Some things have come and gone but always added value or comfort to our lives. My favorite thing is my 2 person sauna I have in our garage. Hubby’s favorite thing is the stacked stone wall and cabinetry we added to our great room. The cabinetry has a lift for our 65” tv so it is hidden away when not in use.
Hi. I love the projector. So much better and cheaper than a big TV. We had a lot of fun coming up with different set-up. With grandkids that have fun ideas. First we used a sheet, which worked sort of, then we painted a wall white, lol, finally when we needed a new one, we got one with a screen that works perfectly. The kids also set it up so you can lay down and watch on the ceiling. Your advice is useful and appreciated. Also, always great to watch you two together, you're simply great people. Keep having fun and making videos.
Can you make a video on taxes? You have said you live mostly on dividends but how are those taxed? If we sell, and lease a home, invest in dividend paying stock, how do we determine what we will pay? Given other income streams...
We live on our pensions CPP, OAS and British old age pension and can survive day to day on them. The dividend income is reinvested either in more stock or cash deposits adding to our capital. Dividends are taxed differently in Canada but most of our dividends are in RRSP and TFSA, the brokerage company sends out tax forms each year that you apply to your tax return.
Thanks for the video guys! Wish Amazon prime was that cheap here in the U.S.. I believe it's about 129 USD now. By my calculation, you're getting it for half of what we pay. Go figure! Take care!
We can’t figure out David what’s going on with prices in the U.S. Canadian prices are cheaper on a lot of things without taking into account the exchange rates, this is a first!
Hi Vyvien, Fire Stick a way of making a dumb T.V. smart 😂😂 We also like buying gifts on Amazon and having them shipped direct to our relatives. Thanks for your kind comment. ❤️
I love how tech savvy you guys are. I don't think most retirees understand how important it is to stay up on the latest technology, which can make life so much simpler and more enjoyable. The big downside to modern tech is that it's all cloud connected, which I don't like very much because I like my privacy and the cloud is all about collecting ans selling your personal data. That said, you can avoid sharing much of your data if you configure your settings properly.
Thanks for your suggestions. I just ordered three of the items that I thought would be especiall y helpful . Several others I had already. This was another great presentation.
@@ThisIsOurRetirement Thanks. Both of the benefits you mentioned are so great - I go to my cabin in BC and my place in Croatia every year, and this is the best 50 dollars I ever spent. I'm sort of glad that driving from Portland to Seattle for an interview was a hassle, because otherwise more people would be in the Nexus lane and the Global Entry area ! I notice, for example, that the TSA Precheck line, although still good, is starting to be less convenient and more hassle than it used to be, at some airports. Thanks for your videos.
Im going to get a home defender shot gun its short easy to carry. I also have a pistol that fires pepper balls 50 calibre its air defense weapon so legal to carry. I dont have a trailer in Canada yet but your park looks nice but far away. all the best be safe and buy a shot gun
I bought a Toshiba projector and a 80” screen from Amazon several years ago. Only brought them out of the box last year ;). I watch netFlix and movies that way, much better for my eyesight.
Awesome video Tina and Norm :) We are LOOKING forward to our retirement (well my husband at the end of the year). Excellent ideas!!!!!!!!!! Your fan Mary from Toronto, ON CANADA
For Brits like you guys you might want to consider Britbox for streaming. My wife is English which was our initial impetus for getting it but there are lots of quality UK programs you can stream, Line of Duty and Shetland come to mind. Based on their best TV shows there seems to be a lot of crime in the UK 😆 (not true of course). Like you we use a FireTV stick and VPN when we are out of country for the winter, Mexico for us. I am with you on the Nexus cards. I would say if you travel once a year you could probably get by without it but any more than that it's worth having.
I had Britbox but canceled when the gift subscription ran out. So many episodes of Midsomer etc are missing because they sold the rights to another streaming service. Likewise with Vera and so many others. You can get more recent shows free on RUclips! And to add insult I had to fight them when they charged my credit card despite having cancelled. I’m thinking of trying Acorn.
@@qwincyq6412 we haven't had any issues with Britbox and got all 11 seasons of Vera (among many others). We are just finishing up Vera season 11 and season 12 is expected to hit Britbox in early 2023. Still, your experience was different. Maybe let us know how Acorn is if you try that.
We didn’t like the need for charging the Apple Watch. We do realize the Co2 and blood pressure are iffy but used regularly if you get a drastic change, that’s a great indication of a problem, health or your watch is breaking 😂😂
For retirement, I bought my RV for travel (hello California), a mobile to live in when not in my RV, two new cars (both EVs and paid cash). I've run into problems with my eyes so don't know how much longer I will be able to drive. Cheers, Steve
I suggest a large Lesportsac backpack or a Longchamp large shoulder nylon bags for travel. They are no more than 1lb each. Kipling nylon is light too, but not as light weight.
Thank you for always having such great advice. We love your videos and look forward to them each week. Could you share the information about the carry-on luggage that you have? Have a wonderful holiday in Alabama!
It’s called IT luggage we don’t have a link just Google it , we are having a great time thanks for watching we really appreciate your support guys Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
Investing in retirement is much different from investing for retirement. This is because you finally get to use those savings to live the life you’ve worked hard to achieve. The biggest mistake most people make when it comes to their retirement is they do not plan for it. Congratulations you made it to retirement-now what? Learn how to wisely withdraw and invest your retirement funds to make sure they provide the income you need, keep up with inflation, and last as long as you need them.
Love Midsommer Murders have watched every episode. Also love Endeavour, Inspector Morse, & Grantchester until the lead left. So enjoying your visit to Alabama. Are the Nexis cards similar to US Pre-Check?

What a difference about a year makes. I have Prime and the annual cost is here in the USA is much higher in 2024
We offset the cost because of free deliveries and access to Prime TV

@@mbeaumont8499 That’s great we hope you enjoy it , we love ours have a wonderful week Cheers 🇨🇦☕🇺🇸
Awesome video Tina and Norm :) We are LOOKING forward to our retirement (well my husband at the end of the year). Excellent ideas!!!!!!!!!! Your fan Mary from Toronto, ON CANADA
Sounds great! we hope hubby has a great retirement 🥳 not long now thanks for watching Mary we appreciate your support Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
We are addicted to Masterpiece theatre programs which is an extra through Prime. Every show is great, which is not the case with Netflix, even Prime.
Hi Sherry we are using the VPN to change our location to access some shows not available to get blocking.
For Brits like you guys you might want to consider Britbox for streaming. My wife is English which was our initial impetus for getting it but there are lots of quality UK programs you can stream, Line of Duty and Shetland come to mind. Based on their best TV shows there seems to be a lot of crime in the UK 😆 (not true of course). Like you we use a FireTV stick and VPN when we are out of country for the winter, Mexico for us. I am with you on the Nexus cards. I would say if you travel once a year you could probably get by without it but any more than that it's worth having.
Thanks for sharing we are working on the Britbox have a great weekendCheers 🇲🇽 ☕️🇨🇦🇺🇸
I had Britbox but canceled when the gift subscription ran out. So many episodes of Midsomer etc are missing because they sold the rights to another streaming service. Likewise with Vera and so many others. You can get more recent shows free on RUclips! And to add insult I had to fight them when they charged my credit card despite having cancelled. I’m thinking of trying Acorn.
@@qwincyq6412 we haven't had any issues with Britbox and got all 11 seasons of Vera (among many others). We are just finishing up Vera season 11 and season 12 is expected to hit Britbox in early 2023. Still, your experience was different. Maybe let us know how Acorn is if you try that.
Fantastic loved this content.. v 😎👍🏻
Thank you so much 🙂 have a great day Phil Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
@@ThisIsOurRetirement missed you guys.. keep up the good work 😉
Love your channel ❤
Thank you so much Marlene we really appreciate that! 💕❤️
I’ve found the watches CO2 reading to not be very accurate as I also have a monitor to compare it to. I have the Apple watch
We didn’t like the need for charging the Apple Watch. We do realize the Co2 and blood pressure are iffy but used regularly if you get a drastic change, that’s a great indication of a problem, health or your watch is breaking 😂😂
We just discovered Midsomer Murders and love our air fryer too! We use it all the time. Really love your channel. Wishing you safe and happy travels!
Thanks so much Leisa have a great weekend Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
$30 for 40G data per month phone card suits me fine , no computer online is best.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Why did you sell your own house and rent
We had always planned to sell to help fund our retirement Angela Cheers 🍷 🇦🇺 🙂🇨🇦
For retirement, I bought my RV for travel (hello California), a mobile to live in when not in my RV, two new cars (both EVs and paid cash). I've run into problems with my eyes so don't know how much longer I will be able to drive. Cheers, Steve
Doesn’t it feel good Stephen 💰 paying cash for RVs and Cars 🚗 sorry to hear about your eyes hope you find a solution Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
I am interested too in your brand of lightweight luggage. I have googled some, but would be interesting in hearing what kind you got.
Lesportsac or Longchamp are very light weight.
It was IT luggage and we love them Kathryn Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
Thanks for the great suggestions :)
You're so welcome! have a great weekend Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
Can you show your light weight carry on bags?
Thanks for watching and the suggestion Joanna have a wonderful day Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
We just put a photo and link on our Community page Joanna 🌺
Welcome to Alabama and Roll Tide.
Thanks 🇺🇸🍻🇨🇦
I suggest a large Lesportsac backpack or a Longchamp large shoulder nylon bags for travel. They are no more than 1lb each. Kipling nylon is light too, but not as light weight.
Thanks for sharing SCT Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
Could you include/ provide us a link to your travel lamp?
We do have links in the video description, but here is the travel light we use geni.us/FVpM6k
Thank you!
Like to see the carry ons.
Google IT luggage
Thank you for always having such great advice. We love your videos and look forward to them each week. Could you share the information about the carry-on luggage that you have? Have a wonderful holiday in Alabama!
It’s called IT luggage we don’t have a link just Google it , we are having a great time thanks for watching we really appreciate your support guys Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
Investing in retirement is much different from investing for retirement. This is because you finally get to use those savings to live the life you’ve worked hard to achieve. The biggest mistake most people make when it comes to their retirement is they do not plan for it.
Congratulations you made it to retirement-now what?
Learn how to wisely withdraw and invest your retirement funds to make sure they provide the income you need, keep up with inflation, and last as long as you need them.
Great point Patrick
We so enjoy your Saturday morning chats🌸 Very interested in the lighter luggage, couldn't find the link for this.... Thanks for your videos!!!
You are so welcome! we bought IT luggage locally to us in Canada , we don’t have a link just Google it Stephanie Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
Love Midsommer Murders have watched every episode. Also love Endeavour, Inspector Morse, & Grantchester until the lead left. So enjoying your visit to Alabama. Are the Nexis cards similar to US Pre-Check?
We love Midsummer’s Murder and yes Nexus is a USA 🇺🇸 pre check card Buffy cat Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
