Welcome to Retirement Countdown 1000

As we started doing some serious retirement planning I took off on a YouTube rabbit hole. I found lots and lots of videos about financial planning and lots and lots about travel. Don’t get me wrong, finances are important and I also want to do some traveling. But there are 112 waking hours in a week and if I live 20 healthy years that is 116,485 hours to fill. Why aren’t we spending more time considering how we will spend our days. I also want a break from the work grind, but I also want to live my best life.

My good luck is that I have a little more of a window into this than most people. My career has put me in relationship with hundreds if not thousands of people as they live out their retirement. I have seen people make a great transition and I’ve seen people flounder. We’ve talked and we want get more than our money in place so that we can have a great transition.

So we have set a date, and are going to countdown the next 1000 days. I’m going to create videos in part so that we stay accountable to ourselves, and in part because I think this is a conversation that a lot of people want to have.

I am pairing these videos with this website to hopefully build a community where we can talk about all of this.

Launch date is May 21. The channel link is here. https://www.youtube.com/@RetirementCountdown1000

Let’s start curating a great retirement together!
