20 Things To Say Goodbye to In Retirement: You won't miss these thing!

[@steve75889]

The best way to get rid of cultter is to take a picture of it and later on if you miss it you can look at the picture. I had emotional attachments to a lot of cultter but I used this method and I feel 100% better!

[@RetirementTransformed]

Great suggestion!

[@pearlrichardson4179]

I have recently started to take pictures for my before & after decluttering project & it helps quite a bit & is liberating from the clutter. It was recommended from some youtube decluttering coaches/organizers that I follow.

[@TheLiberty1999]

Not even ten minutes in, you two are having way too much fun. Thanks for the chuckles.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Our pleasure! We definitely try hard to make shooting video fun. If we were too serious I think it would be much harder on us.

[@annatorrez8135]

I LOVE YOU GUYS!..I've just turned 68 & my Retirement starts in August.....YOU ARE GOD-SEND!...I absorb everything you say like a sponge.❤

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that our content resonates with you. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement in August - what an exciting time! We're honored to be a part of your journey, and we're glad our videos have been helpful to you. If there's anything specific you'd like to see or learn about, please let us know.

[@homestatzfarmher8919]

I really enjoy your content! I like the perspective you bring to the post-corporate life. It’s also delightful to watch you two together. Keep up the great work!

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thank you so much for this encouragement.

I “used” to be a lawyer. I wasn’t one of those individuals who wanted to be a lawyer since I was a kid so it wasn’t a difficult transition. I miss the socializing but I volunteer at the court occasionally, which takes care of that need. Do not miss the practice at all. Liberating is a perfect word. Working on personal growth and reinventing myself. Feels great. Your discussions are great reinforcement. Thank you.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thank you for this thoughtful response!!!

[@KarenRitscher-x3b]

GREAT examples! There are a lot of paradigms we adopted to thrive in our corporate jobs. It's a lot of programming to recognize and redefine to become masters of our own lives.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thank you!

@bitcoinenergy1 What about if you throw bitcoin into the mix ? No one who has held bitcoin for the 4 year cycle has ever lost any money. In fact if you price property in bitcoin everything gets cheaper every four years. How ? because bitcoin unlike the pound is fixed in its supply and the purchasing power gets stronger every four years. For example a house you want to buy today will be cheaper in four years in bitcoin terms. This is why all the leading asset managers are buying and holding bitcoin. Even business are adopting bitcoin to gain competitive advantage. Why and How ? Lets say cashback for example. If you were to offer a customer 5% cashback and give it to them in bitcoin instead of pounds the cashback to them would increaes in value in four years. Hence the 5 pounds given to them in bitcoin would probably be worth 15 to twenty pound in four years. Am I selling bitcoin ? No I just teach other entrepreneures how it works. No spamming or emails. Just some food for thought. You can subscribe to my channel if you wish to learn about bitcoin, Thats it. Tony.

I retired from my day job 4 years ago, but my days are full with taking care of a home, a husband , yard work, being available for our son & grandson, etc. As my husband nears his retirement, I look forward to our next chapter. I so appreciate your content. There is plenty of financial retirement advice out there, but you guys offer so much more on the emotional/ relational side of this time in our lives. I particularly liked your recent video on the need to discover /build new community. You are both so very relatable, and real together. I love to tell my husband about your latest videos. Thanks for the work that you are putting into this. You are helping so many navigate these different avenues and opportunities. ❤😊

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thank you for your comment and for supporting our channel!

[@Fell214]

Recent early retiree here.. I enjoy your videos and you seem like solid folks. I think you have found an inspiring niche. Thanks for your efforts.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Awesome! Thank you! Feel free to share with your friends and family.

[@valerieshy8749]

You two are so fun to watch and listen to. Thoroughly enjoyed this. You made me smile and laugh which I needed today! Love the homework at the end to analyze the 20 things on a personal level.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind words.

[@gayarupasinghe4218]

Planning to retire and so much nice to hear this! Thank you for everything for your genuine expression of your feelings!

[@RetirementTransformed]

You are so welcome!

[@margaretvillalpando7722]

I love her face when he said I'm adaptable. LOL 😍😍😂😂

[@RetirementTransformed]

Yes, she does like making faces when I comment! LOL

[@davidspacey796]

Love this , you have helped me so much, funny to.

[@RetirementTransformed]

I'm so glad! What was the best piece of advice that you got?

[@ednavalentin4135]

Thanks for this video and sharing your experience

[@RetirementTransformed]

My pleasure.

[@davidspacey796]

Brilliant well done

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thank you. What was the best part?

[@pirjomargaret]

Learn new things, I do agree. That makes you grow. I liked this video a lot! All 20 things you mentioned are essential for a happy life after 65.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thanks for sharing!! We appreciate you being here

[@NickGrout]

Some great insights and reflections. Much I can relate to, despite living in England and working in a very different culture and sphere. I'm looking forward to my own retirement next Feb after 42 very full and diverse years, and really want it to be a positive and radical change.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bethmiller4269]

I truly enjoy your videos. A couple of points really hit home. I was in sales and had many rewards and trophies. Within the first year of retirement, I took pictures of them and then trashed them. (I hate dusting) Professional clothing and suits, Jody, I hear you on this one. I would buy myself a new suit whenever I sold a new account. They are now all gone. What a relief. Goals, I am big on this still, they are posted on the bedroom door every year. It’s to ensure that as you look back you can see your accomplishments over the years.

[@RetirementTransformed]

I love everything about this! Thank you for the comment! Jody

[@edcampbell8026]

Thank you. What I needed to hear in my life right now. Thank you

[@RetirementTransformed]

You are so welcome!

[@TimothyDeck]

Interesting that you mentioned Chubb. My mother worked there in the late 1960's to 1971. We moved from Livingston, NJ to Harwich on the Cape in Massachusetts. Memories. :)

[@RetirementTransformed]

Chubb is a great company and both Jody and I have wonderful experiences with them. Thank for for being here!

[@annemccown1283]

I have been enjoying listening to you two! You are such a great couple and I look forward to modeling my retirement after yours. As you mentioned in a prior video, a great percentage of retirement information was focused on financial issues but it is important to me to find a purpose in retirement. I still have a few months before I retire next year but I am excited!!!

[@RetirementTransformed]

We appreciate you being here and also the compliment. We love all that we do and will continue to bring you more exciting and fun content and ideas.

[@heidimartin6711]

Love your helpful and great tips. My husband and I are getting close to those Golden years and your videos are soooo informative on what to prepare for and to do now

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thank you. We are glad you are here

[@jimstafford6171]

LOL, just saw a short where you have a new puppy. Congrats and Condolences!! We have a new puppy also.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Yay! We love our fur baby.

[@vickijacobs1853]

Yes, you are influencers. I enjoy your positive, can do attitude!

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thank you.

[@lauriemix488]

You two are wonderful!!! Thank you for being REAL! You both remind me of Regis and Kathy Lee whom I always enjoyed watching. Thank you for taking the time to share such great insight and information! Bless you both! ❤

[@RetirementTransformed]

It's our pleasure. Thank you for watching!

[@trudy5831]

Jodi does remind me of Joy Philbin

[@wendyjo9267]

I wore scrubs for 34 years. Hospital attire❤

[@RetirementTransformed]

I’m sure you helped so many people as you wore scrubs every day!

[@ElleSchmidt-l6l]

OMG I love this! Perfectionism!

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you love it.

[@deborahb3664]

I am three months into retirement from a big corporate job. Your videos are so helpful! Love the back and forth banter.... good husband and wife conversations!!! ❤❤

[@RetirementTransformed]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@tomlockyer2404]

Hi !!!!! Thank you so much for all of your videos. I am getting ready to retire in February 2024 and have watched and enjoyed many of your videos. They have been so helpful and thought provoking !!!!!! Again, Thank you !!!!!

[@RetirementTransformed]

You are so welcome! Thanks for the comment! Keep watching and giving us insights!

[@Tamatra-Sings]

We do want to hear about your purse! It humanized your presentation. Authenticity is key!😊

[@RetirementTransformed]

Hahahah - right? Thanks for the comment! Jody

[@Jackie-plus]

I really like these two!

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thanks for the support!

[@Joanne-cq7lu]

Plus work demands are not a choice. Work demands are mandatory issues usually with deadlines we have to deal with.

[@RetirementTransformed]

It does feel good to us to not have the demands we once had in our corporate lives.

[@MuzixMaker]

One thing left behind is weekly dry cleaning bill!

[@RetirementTransformed]

Very true! lol yes forgot about that.

[@dwaynekutny4740]

I’m struggling. Worked 12 hr day 7 days week. Now I’m retired. Single and laying in be 12 hrs a day. No purpose no goals. I’m lost. Help

[@RetirementTransformed]

I’m so sorry that you are struggling. Please look at more of our videos and begin to visualize how you want to live this next phase of your life. Look at some of our videos on physical wellness. Getting up and out of the house and moving your body is a good place to start.

[@wendywang4622]

Could you try to be a volunteer?

[@Instkarma9765]

I am single, childless with no purpose. Financially the retirement center and planners say I will be okay. But I’m scared . Just got over a pinched nerve. The workplace has reorganized and I feel as though I’m being replaced due to my age. I’m scared.

[@Sharon-ud4ke]

This was a great and very useful video along with Retirement tips you can't afford to miss.But all your videos are so good. Thankyou for helping us navigate this time 😊

[@RetirementTransformed]

Glad you like them!

[@anniemoulinsteffen3465]

Sometimes it is hard to controle stress when you are in a creative business like writing. How to give me space to relax and not consider my writing as a new job. Some insights ? Thank you some for your wonderful vision and so personnal way to share it.

[@RetirementTransformed]

As a writer as well, I use exercise, meditation, and early morning rituals to help with my stress.

[@paulblanchette1737]

Great stuff,thank you for this. Please stop talking over your wife though and let soeak and finish. Thanks for all your info

[@RetirementTransformed]

Yup. I get excited and can’t wait to share. Bad habit I’m working on.

[@tommilliot1496]

Love the banter. Love when you both laugh. I can’t wait to not look at a computer all day.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Glad you enjoy it! Some people think we interrupt each other and at time talk over each other. I think the way we talked to each other is always respectful and we also make it fun and interactive. That’s how we talk. Lots of energy, and yes we love to laugh..Thank you for watching Tom

[@ruthannelamantia5568]

“We couldn’t go to work because we quit”! 🤣🤣

[@RetirementTransformed]

Funny! Thank you

[@pearlrichardson4179]

I love that statement. I got a chuckle out of that too. 🤣😂

[@robertahoffmann8820]

I love to go to lunch and mid day matinees with friends now… it reminds me I’m NOT at work!!!

[@RetirementTransformed]

That sounds fun!

[@light-yi2me]

Yes I want to hear about her purse !

[@RetirementTransformed]

Hahahah! I agree!! I should have kept going with that line of thought! Lol

[@chrisoglesby3161]

you're "legit"...thanks

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thanks for your support!

[@pjdilip]

All dressed up and nowhere to go 😮

[@RetirementTransformed]

Happy New Year and thank you for being here.

[@glennet9613]

But will it keep you happy for the next twenty years or more? Most retirement videos are by retirees still in the honeymoon period of endless rounds of golf and long lunches.

[@RetirementTransformed]

We work hard on being happy every day. It takes intention, flexibility, and patience for each other.

[@robertahoffmann8820]

Haha Friday nights🤣

[@RetirementTransformed]

Yes. Friday nights

[@cathysese59]

Interesting vid. I just wish to see the other finish their train of thought, instead of listening to you both talking at the same time 😮😮😮

[@RetirementTransformed]

Good feedback! Thank you

[@aggie6561]

😊👍

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thank you

[@elizabethwollmann1099]

👏♥️🇨🇦

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thank you :)

[@ljkoh20052000able]

Just a comment on being a people pleaser. Often times if done unconsciously. This could be a maladaptive sign on a defense mechanism which suggests an unmet need on being enough. Just saying

[@RetirementTransformed]

You could be right. My mom was the same way.

[@ljkoh20052000able]

Wow that was fast. Replying right away could be the key to your youtubing success. Keep it up👍🏻

[@ljkoh20052000able]

You know. The best part of my retirement journey at present. Is having to have discovered my inner child or my unconscious mind. Evidence-based research in psychology has proven that 95% of your behavior and thoughts and actions are from your unconscious beliefs which is ingrained in your physiology or neuron program in your brain, and this drives your personslities such as people-pleaser, perfectionist, busy-body person etc. These as a suggestion could be delved into your set-up. However, these insights which I have been awakend into due to my retirement, works better if learned experientially. Still this could be studied intellectualy and applied in life. Your Childhood experiences which molded you to be a retiree often times manifest after 20, 30 years or more. That's why having to work on having an introspective mind now since we have the time may be good for us retired people. Just saying. 😊

[@vickiescholl9453]

Are sure you two have retired? LOL

[@RetirementTransformed]

Yes, we are. We love to teach others and enjoy doing so. Thank you for watching and subscribing!

[@bdflavors1347]

There's an awkwardness in your interaction sometimes that I find uncomfortable...seems like you're pretending a bit...sorry to provide that feedback but i find myself cringing...

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thank you for this feedback. We appreciate your honesty

[@truthbetold6942]

Who hurt you as a child? Your comment is not helpful at all. You didn’t give them one concrete example so they could work on it if they so desire. How does one tell constructive criticism from an insult? An insult never has any details, it only serves to be hurtful.

[@margmclevain3432]

Jody & Mark your videos are wonderful and helpful! 👏Appreciate your style, honesty and joking.👍Keep it coming! Love you both!

[@MuzixMaker]

Solution: don’t watch.

[@vladimirvujicic9446]

I prefer home cooking to restaurants. Authenticity is, to me, much more important than perfection. Jody and Mark you are doing great. Really appreciate your views. Do not strive for perfection. Be yourself, that’s more than enough. Cheers!
