Retired at 56: Two years later. What could go right?

Video Description

Our early retirement kick-off is on December 4th, 2023. That was my last official day with T-Mobile after 27 years (Sprint+T-Mobile). Shortly after that final day, I made a video to discuss the top 5 things I thought could go wrong with early retirement. Next, a few weeks later, I made a follow-up video about the things that we brainstormed that could go right. The big difference for me between the second early retirement video and the first was that it was a result of a conversation with my wife while on a trip. Partnering with your spouse as you plan your retirement is critically important and part of the desire to be intentional. These videos are now a tradition. I am looking back at those 5 early retirement concerns and assessing how things are going for us so far. Really fun to see the past me and talk back about how things are going with our retirement.
