My husband, Billy, and I left the work-for-paycheck world over two decades ago at the age of 38 and set out to travel the world. Coming from the restaurant and brokerage businesses, our lives had been filled with stress and we did not have much free time. To leave our jobs and our beautiful home on California’s Central Coast was a very uncommon choice to make in 1991. But we wanted to follow our dream and wouldn’t be stopped by fear.
Since then we have lived in dozens of countries, written six books and run a very popular website dedicated to financial independence and world travel. In our twenty-one years of life-sans-paycheck, we have learned a great deal—about travel, self-sufficiency and surviving bear markets and crashes. This is what we want to share with others.
Our website, RetireEarlyLifestyle.com is packed with information so that people can plan and manage their retirements, find the towns and cities to relocate to—both within and outside the USA—and to inspire them to travel this good earth of ours.
If leaving the working world within the next five or ten years is a consideration, I would suggest readers begin at our Preferred Links Pages. They’ll find many retirement topics and tools from financial calculators and housing options to volunteering and part-time jobs along with hundreds of useful links to help get started. For those who no longer think they can retire in this financial climate, we recommend our latest book Your Retirement Dream IS Possible. We give the map, let people make it happen.
When health care is an issue, we offer that readers take advantage of what we know on this topic. Not only do we discuss this in our Possible Dream book, we also have information on medical tourism (which is less scary and more of a viable option than many might think!). Dozens of countries offer high quality medical care at affordable prices and without limiting, pre-existing conditions contracts. Becoming informed and taking control of our healthcare options is the only way to see that we’re not stuck unless we choose to be.
Our objective is to inform our readers of both the options and the opportunities available to create the future life they desire. Our information is based on first-hand experience so we know it will work.
Readers can sign up for our free newsletter and visit our website today at our website. We’ll answer questions about retirement or travel to those who write to us at TheGuide@RetireEarlyLifestyle.com.
Readers of Baby Boomers Traveling may be closer to their retirement dreams than they think, and if not, we can help them prioritize to make them happen.
Let’s get started!
