Our Rich Journey - Before You Retire Early Watch This - Things You’ll Miss When You Quit Your Job: We love that we were able to reach financial independence and retire before the age of forty. We've been living in financial independence for over four years . . . and we couldn't be happier. But, reaching financial independence and quitting our jobs took an adjustment period. There were actually things that we initially missed about our jobs. Don't get us wrong - living the retired life is AMAZING! But, if you want to know what to initially expect right after you retire (e.g., some of the things you will actually miss), check out this video to learn more!

I'm 46 I just retired this year in May I was a Bus Operator in NYC for 10 years, the only thing I miss is actually driving the bus it was fun but I dont miss dealing with the public. Retirement is a financial situation not an age. Dont feel bad for taking control of your time back from the matrix.

[@madfox995]

Congrats on surviving the MTA and retiring early! Make the most of it!

[@lashawn369]

My mom was an extrovert and social butterfly. She went into a depression less than one year after she retired, it was eye opening for me. I will change from dual career part-time Realtor to full-time. I will also join social clubs, take fitness classes and continue to volunteer when I retire. The majority of my family, acquaintances and coworkers that have retired haven't lived past six years after retirement. We need a reason/purpose💜

[@OurRichJourney]

Wow! Thanks for sharing that LaShawn! ❤️

[@Dylan-gh4so]

i wont miss a damn thing about all the assholes i work with lol

[@OurRichJourney]

Dylan!!!!😂😂😂

[@janaynmelis5250]

#1 is what I actively avoid the most to be honest. I never liked forced or peer pressured work get togethers. I was always able to separate my personal and work life and I honestly prefer it that way.

[@franciet99]

Hey y’all. First point is very true. I lost all my work “friends”. We don’t have anything to connect on anymore. I’ve joined Master Gardeners.

[@OurRichJourney]

Very good point! There’s no longer that work connection. But with joining a gardening group, you can connect with people based on something you’re passionate about!!!❤️

[@discoveringhealthandfinanc8328]

I've been remote for over 6 almost 7 years... I was an extrovert and then I slipped into being an introvert.. I've tried to make friends but i find people don't want to nourish a friendship. Basically I would have to put all the effort in and none on the other side so I just stopped. I'm 37 and expecting to be financially independent by 45 planning on retiring at 47 and moving abroad by 48. I really need to find hobbies that doesn't involve other people... I'm definitely struggling to find happiness in this environment

[@qm-sl6hy]

Kudos for taking the road less traveled. Great video!

[@OurRichJourney]

Thank you!!!!!❤️

[@richdewitt760]

As always great content! Definitely not only need to plan for retiring from something-(lose the job via FIRE planning), but one MUST plan to retire to something-(each person to fill in their own "retire to" blank). Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays. Rich

[@OurRichJourney]

Well said Rich!!!! Such a good idea to plan on retiring to something versus running away from something!!!! Merry Christmas!!!❤️

[@geraldinesangil2806]

Listening to my fave this Christmas 🎄. Have a blessed one you guys.

[@xx-ql3kv]

I think the hardest part is finding your new identity. If your job was you identity, then it's hard trying to find that "who am I?" now. Speaking for myself, I was unemployed for 6 months by choice; it was great for the first 2 months or so, and I found that I struggled with identity and/or purpose. I'm still looking for it, I find it here and there in hobbies and stuff, I want to try surfing. It got so bad, that I went to work part time. I turned down other job offers, because they wanted full time, and then I went to work part time. It's per diem, and I pay for my own benefits, but I worked that into my budget. So far so good. But once I find that new identity, then I'll be all in. I'm still in my 50's, I hope I find it soon.

[@poncho82able]

I retired at 58 and I can relate to all of the points presented. Good to know others are going through the same thing, great video.

[@maxineoliver7404]

Thanks for such great advice, and Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas!!🎄

[@egdolps2195]

Always enjoyed your videos and advice. Retired two years ago at 56yrs old, and haven’t missed a single day of it! 👍 Haven’t been bored for a single minute, and the days fly by. Keep yourself busy is the key👍

[@Moraima2009]

I agreed with Die with Zero's author. One must practice the retirement life years before stop working. It worked for me. I create a social (small) social. cirvle before stop working.

[@terryadams1830]

Thanks for another great video! Merry Christmas!

[@OurRichJourney]

Thank you so much!!! Merry Christmas!!!❤️

[@hildamartinez-herrera5511]

Thank you for another great video 🥰 Feliz Navidad 🎄🎁 🎉

[@autobotdiva9268]

my dad retired for 2 weeks and couldnt take it, he went back to work 3 days week at the same company instead of enjoying country living or looking after horses. he just couldnt sit down, didnt have a "need", wife had no aspirations or energy, social security wasnt enough, never invested. he passed away friday.

[@4mbrad642]

Merry Christmas guys! And thanks...

[@OurRichJourney]

Merry Christmas!!!❤️

[@ivanilnicki6345]

Great ideas!!

[@Nacole_Lashoun]

❤❤Great points! I am practicing for my retirement because I’m hoping to ease the transition. Being intentional about building up my identity and life outside of work as I gradually reduce my work commitments. It’s been a beautiful journey and I discovered Im no longer in a “rush” to retire. I’m now much more content and enjoying the journey. It’s allowed me to incorporate many of the things that I enjoy (and were putting off till retirement) into my daily life. Your channel has been instrumental in my growth and success! Thank you! ❤

[@jmr2594]

Merry Christmas great video.

[@OurRichJourney]

Merry Christmas!!!❤️

[@danelledautrievesanford]

Food for thought. Merry Christmas.

[@OurRichJourney]

Merry Christmas Danelle! ❤️

[@karenb9788]

Good advice whether you retire early or at the regular age.

[@ivzg3576]

Merry Christmas Amon and Christina. Thanks for being an inspiration ♥️ I still remember my 1st comment here how ecstatic I was getting my 1st dividend, now I’m half way to reach my Fire # so I can chill in my country, the Philippines. I’m still not sure to retire early but at least I have the option to do it one day. Btw, thought about the two of you and your family when I went to Portugal last March 😂 best experience ever ♥️

[@OurRichJourney]

Merry Christmas!!! And congratulations on being half way to your FIRE goal!!!❤️

[@SKingJoy]

I can't wait to retire. I will spend more time with my church friends. I like them best anyway!

[@lashawn369]

Checking in from the DMV.

[@OurRichJourney]

Hi there LaShawn!!!❤️

[@glb_tvlr]

I retired at 37 and after being told what to do while I was in the military, I value MY time now. The only thing I miss is the camaraderie with my military brothers and sisters. Now, I just get up and move as I want and it’s the best feeling in the world! No worrying about mortgages, car payments, etc. Retirement is great but you have to find things to do.

[@sunderbans11]

Pay yourself a paycheck!!! I get that point.Thanks

[@OurRichJourney]

Yes! You can create your own pay check 😀

[@theluxuryvagabond]

I love the idea to send yourself a check twice a week like you are working! Hilarious. I am going to do that for sure when I retire. I am going to get all excited like 'ooohhh I can't wait until pay day (happy dance)' or 'man I earned my money this week!' or 'I think I deserve a raise, it's past time'...the opportunities to play with this are endless. 😅

[@someoneunknown3391]

Please do a video on how you budget your work week for the businesses you run.

[@OurRichJourney]

Thanks for the video suggestion!

[@peteandjadelucas3991]

Merry Christmas, Amon and Christina! Life is different with Pete being retired. I am definitely keeping him busy with my ever-increasing honey-do list. 😂. We have plans to build a new community of friends and participate in community volunteer events. We will be missing out on all the fun in 2024, but hope that you have plans to come visit your family and friends in the Bay Area. I know that our accountability group in the Bay Area would love to help host a West Coast meet up. Let’s make it happen?😊

[@OurRichJourney]

Jade and Pete!!!! Hope you are loving San Francisco!!!! And it sounds like Pete isn’t having any problems staying busy in retirement!!! Definitely have to do a Bay Area meet-up next time we are there!!! Happy New Year! ❤️

[@cynthiaborden4209]

I just turned 63 a few weeks ago. My full retirement age is at 67, but I'm calling it quits at 65, and I am so excited to enter into a new space❤❤

[@VicDamoneJr82]

Wow that’s a lot of time at work

[@BetterLife05]

Is going for Fire about maxing retirement accounts rather than investing all in a taxable and just paying the taxes?

[@Goyanks28]

I’m going to retire early and I will never miss anything about work just my health insurance lol. Forget being a slave to a corporation.

[@clarissaturcios2346]

I won't miss nada

Hi Danelle!❤️

[@JOESUBA122]

I wish I had a job i could retire from 😂😂😂 I would be traveling and would never even go back to that job!

[@mystico21p]

If you know yourself, you'll have no problem filling up your free time.

[@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

I'm good... My Life shall improve exponentially in retirement at 56 yrs of age. I have plenty to do. Those Folks aren't even going to be able to understand you two when you decide to access your TSP. LOL, the way you all are moving your TSP might be meaningless by that time. Your "co-workers" are going to wonder how you did it! LOL!!!
