Reflecting On 15 Months Of Early Retirement - Elizabeth | MHFI 281

---

---

Doug chats with his wife Elizabeth about her first year (and few months) of retirement while answering questions from the Facebook group.  They also discuss a post from Instagram called “The 6 Luxuries of Life”.

Questions answered:

• James C – How has the amount of time you spend managing your finances changed since retirement?
• Michael H – How did you get so lucky to end up with Doug?  What would you tell another wife that is similarly worried about lack of regular paychecks?  Did April’s quick downturn scare you?
• Sheila A – Does Elizabeth think she should have quit even earlier?
• Todd N – Anything she would have done differently in the past 6 months?
• James T – What did Doug say or what life changes convinced you to take the plunge?
• Seth E – What are some of the unexpected benefits that’s she’s experienced since retiring?
• Cait Y – Are you enjoying your time or do you miss the structured work week?
• Diania – How do you manage so much time together? Or do you have enough independent interests that you have enough space from each other?
