In 2019, the year I turned 60, the hospital I worked for offered retirement insurance at 60! After 37 years of nursing and thankfully with financial planning through the years I was able to retire on my 60th birthday. My husband retired at 58 as a school teacher/coach. We still live active lives and spend time with our friends and family. Retirement includes travel to Marco Island last winter and have a home reserved this winter also! I love retirement!
The count down is for December 1! I feel ready, and I’m giving myself a transition period! I will be 63.5, wish I could have retired a little earlier, but I’m excited about my next chapter! Health becomes so important and I wish in my 50’s I’d paid more attention, but never too late to up my game. Thanks for all the great conversations on quality of life in this phase!
Thank you for the video. I am thinking of retiring next year if it all falls into place. I am 62 in a few days. The both of you are so gracias and informative.
Happy birthday! I’m sure the next year will fly by. Make sure you watch our three part series on retiring from work. The last video has a great checklist for the last year before you retire. ruclips.net/p/PLm7TtW4yckpUzyDIjBVxNLHzfB5bDnf1d&si=m6b2bgY-7GCXHi-Q
The drinking thing means no more that 2 drinks/day. Most peeps hear that drinking extends your life and use that as a reason to get hammered everynight. Alcohol is distilled and thins the blood. Moderation is the key. Two factors matter the most for longevity: VO2 max, and strength. VO2 max comes with working out. Strength comes with lifting weights. 5th leading cause of death over age 75 is trauma due to simple falls.... Lift and workout. Have a drink on occasion.
Don’t ever retire, I had a job I loved and worked until I was 80 and retired too early . Happily retired and now 93 and have thoughts of starting my work again as a aeronautical design and certification engineer. My son has a job he loves and I advise him to work to the end of his days,
Drinking in moderation? There are so many conflicting studies out the right now on the benefits and dangers of alcohol. Best to pay attention how you feel.
I was burned out was going to retire when I moved from North to South but my job let me work remote. Lost the 2 hr. / day commute and much less stressful. Walk 5-6 miles / day get to play frisbee with our dog. Have a pool. Working remote is like a working vacation where I'm located. The Grand Kids are here and my Wife retired and does a lot of the chores while I work. She living her dream gardening and planting flowers.
Good content and so true. Will working one more year be worth taking that healthy year off at the beginning and trading it for an older year, maybe not so healthy…but with a couple more bucks? Time vs. Money. You decide. I’m on team “Retire Now”… and I did… just last Monday, April 1st. So happy and excited. It’s what I planned for years. 🎉
Congratulations and welcome to this wonderful phase of life! We have many videos on transitioning into retirement that you may find helpful. Thanks for your comment!
I'm in England. I semi retired at 52 and fully retire in December at 55. Why? Because life is too short. I think the alcohol thing is nonsense. Most of my best friends all died due to alcohol consumption. I don't drink alcohol at all and when I rarely see a doctor I get a round of approval from them for not drinking it.
Wow. Keep saying that and thinking that. And make sure you focus on your physical and mental wellness so you make the most out of this time in your life
Thanks for asking! It's the one labeled Blueprint Income. Per your question, we just added Retirement Calculator next to it so it's easier to find! :-)
That’s wonderful. What are you doing in this stage of your life? There are others that watch this channel that have retired early, so we can all learn from you.
All the things you name… clients, utube, affiliates, book writing, it sounds like you are not retired. You said 20 hours a week. I’d met it more with prep time. You just changed careers.
We have found a good balance and keep it right around 20 hours each week. We don’t work Fridays and both have quite and extensive morning routine which we enjoy to kick start each day! Thanks for watching!
Two or less alcoholic drinks especially red wine helps to thin the blood and reduce the probability of developing a blood clot, improves circulation. The problem develops when men drink more than 2 drinks and women drink more than 1 drink per day for some people. The French drink wine both men and women several times a day and they are pretty heart healthy.

Good for you. I just read the The Snook Inn is opening this coming week! We are looking forward to getting down there too.

We would love to hear about your plans for retirement.
I retired at 60. Great time with family and friends. Love it
Great. Happy for you!
This advice is so well timed. I am considering retiring at 63 in April 2024 and am feeling conflicted. You've given me a lot to think about.
Don’t put it off!
What are your top three concerns? And what are you most excited about?
I’m 60 will retire this November when I turn 61, I am so ready, thank you guys!!!
Happy upcoming birthday! And congratulations on retiring. What is your plan for the next few months and years?
Mark you have hit the jackpot!

I really find your videos very helpful in preparing for my retirement which is in the near future. Thank you.
Great to hear!

This is so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment.
I am 35 years old now i achieve fire movement and i retired 2 years ago.
Good for you! What are you doing now to stay busy?
Don’t ever retire, I had a job I loved and worked until I was 80 and retired too early . Happily retired and now 93 and have thoughts of starting my work again as a aeronautical design and certification engineer. My son has a job he loves and I advise him to work to the end of his days,
We couldn’t agree more. Just take the leap of faith and retire!
Thank you!
Any guidance that recommends retirement AND drinking is a plan I can get behind.
Drinking in moderation? There are so many conflicting studies out the right now on the benefits and dangers of alcohol. Best to pay attention how you feel.
I really enjoy your videos! Thank you
Glad you like them!
Great videos!! Jody is Beautiful.
Thank you!

Tomorrow is my last day... is that soon enough??
🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
So how have the first two weeks of your retirement been?
I'm in England.
I semi retired at 52 and fully retire in December at 55.
Why? Because life is too short.
I think the alcohol thing is nonsense. Most of my best friends all died due to alcohol consumption.
I don't drink alcohol at all and when I rarely see a doctor I get a round of approval from them for not drinking it.
It’s time for me to stop
We wish you luck with this. Making this statement is the first step. I’m sure you can figure this out and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Thank you for being here and leaving this comment.
My grandma lived to 92
Wow. Keep saying that and thinking that. And make sure you focus on your physical and mental wellness so you make the most out of this time in your life
As a soon to be retiree, I really enjoy your content. You are a cute couple too. 😉
😊 thank you
Which link has the calculator for how long you live??
Thanks for asking! It's the one labeled Blueprint Income. Per your question, we just added Retirement Calculator next to it so it's easier to find! :-)
I retired early at 37 comfortably
That’s wonderful. What are you doing in this stage of your life? There are others that watch this channel that have retired early, so we can all learn from you.
You both balance speaking nicely, compared to other videos.
Thank you! We appreciate your comment!

I really doubt those criteria for the calculator.
Not sure what you mean. But happy you are here.
Already plenty of these types of postings in play.
Thank you!

Is that your retirement date? Congratulations! What are your plans?
Drinking gives you a lot of empty calories without any nutrition. That's bad for health. Perhaps that is how it contributes to longevity.😊

Thanks for sharing this!
Hey dude, you are already late to retire at 66 😊
Hi! Thanks for your comment. I retired at 60 and Jody was 53… took us a while to begin to figure it out for sure!
@@RetirementTransformed So, are you saying one should retire at least at 60? If so, I have missed the boat. 🙁
