Our Day In Retirement / A Day In The Life

[@j.maxwell8764]

You two are so fun and normal. It's so nice to see hard working people enjoying the fruits of their labor. You are a picture book of lives well lived! I love your videos!!!

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Thank you so much! have a great weekend Cheers 🍷🌺🙂

[@RamonLerma]

I love listening about your boring typical day. I retired 2 yrs ago and not regretting any of it. Glad to see others doing the same. BTW I wake up 4:30 -5:00am🙂

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Norm is usually up at 5:30 am, does photo and video editing. Thanks for watching 😂😂

[@JadziaCee1977]

Hi Norm and Tina! I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been loving your content. My husband and I are in our mid/late 40's and working towards a freedom 55 retirement. I really enjoyed your day in the life video, as we like to talk and dream about what our daily life will be when we retire. We love each other's company and a simple life at home, cooking and chatting, so it was nice to hear how you two live your life at home since you can't travel at the moment. Thank you for sharing your life.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Thank you so much Colleen for your kind words, if you have a strong loving friendship why wouldn’t you want to spend time together 😂 The main thing is to plan then plan some more, get rid of debt because it robs your future. We are confident you are going to have a great retirement because you are already planning. Thanks for being part of our channel.

[@frugalmeister662]

I'm 60 and my last day of a full time career comes to a close at the end of the month. Really appreciate your videos and advice. Day in the life is great!

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Congratulations 🥳 on your retirement glad you enjoy our videos 🍻🙂

At my retirement (on Feb 29 2024), we moved to a different house. Due to many failing knees / hips, we decided to move from a normal 4 bedroom 3 story home to a newer age 2 bedroom + 2nd story loft (aka: reading room) house. Yes. Much smaller size house with no basement but this one has an external heated 3 bay workshop. Wife says she needs me "out of her kitchen more often". Funny. Now, I'm even more busier doing mandatory DIY upgrades (like installing 3 windows in my new shop) and making our new home "unique to us". Now, I'm very busy working for me / working for us and "loving it"! As you can tell, I also love being retired. Should have retired 2 years ago - when my Financial Planner told me to retire.... If you can, retire and work on DIY projects you always wanted to do! Works for me.... btw: One does not really retire. They simply work on other things in life.... re: One's bucket list!

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Congratulations on your retirement and thanks for sharing your experience with retirement and downsizing.

[@brucewilkinson8599]

Tina, I know you love Norm so much for not hitting his hand over the “Hard Days Night” joke. But seriously, I loved you giving a glimpse into your average daily routine. Having a good, healthy routine in retirement can make this time in life so much fun. Thank you again for your marvelous channel.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Hi Bruce just wanted to share our day with you Cheers 🍷🌺🍺

[@bullionbear]

Hi, my wife and I are going to retire in about two weeks. Your videos help keep my anxiety in check as I’ve always had a job since I was 14 years old and the thought of not working is a bit unsettling. I’m starting to come up with ideas to fill my time (improve on my Spanish and get more use out of our billiards table) plus we both enjoy hiking so we’re looking forward to that as well. Of course we have grandchildren to visit and other travels but from a day to day standpoint this was helpful. 😊

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Great glad you enjoyed it , our days go really fast 💨we wish you both a happy retirement 🥳 have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🍷🌺🍺

[@micheleduke2200]

I retired last August. It was really hard deciding on what to do with all of the free time. I write down a schedule. I have started taking water exercise classes and going to the movies. Other days I may go shopping, take a walk in the park or visit family.

Hi There Tina and Norm. I find myself smiling all the way through your videos. Your relationship is a joy to watch and being also retired now, I do agree that the days do pass quickly, even if it's often Groundhog Day!!! Stay safe and well and keep making this really enjoyable content. Best wishes from Dublin.

[@PamelaAlston-x5j]

Hello you two! I’m 57 and I’ve been retired for about a month now. I retired from the U.S. Army after 22 years of service at the tender age of 38 and continued to work at a different field since I was still young. Now I retired for the second time and I receive two pensions and compensation benefits. I’m not touching my 401k and social security yet because I really don’t need them yet. My husband will retire in a year with the same pensions and benefits and we plan to travel like you guys. Meanwhile, since he won’t retire until next year, I spend my days decluttering and reorganizing every drawer in every room in the house, lol. I’m also learning a third language. I also plan to learn a 4th language, the American Sign Language. I love your videos, keep up the good work!

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Thanks Pamela congrats on your retirement, we hear you about the decluttering we are still doing it 7 years after moving to our apartment 😱Cheers 🍷🇬🇧🍺🇨🇦

Hi Tina and Norm, loved your show again this week. I had to mention to my husband that Norm tracks his stocks in two places and one of them being the Globe and Mail. Well that got him hyped up to get his down on the Globe and Mail as well. I think it took him like 5 or 6 hours this weekend but he’s very happy to get it there and to be able to easily see the progress. We plan on retiring in 2 years so we seem to be doing a lot of planning and talking about our immediate future. Thanks and continue with your tips!

Hello! My husband and I are going to be fully retired July 22. I’m already retired, going on two years. We are building a cabin in the lower peninsula in the northern part of Michigan. We are getting very close to completion with the interior and we will be selling our house and moving. We will be totally debt-free once we sell our home. The one thing I have really taken away from your videos is the fact that you have the 4 o’clock happy hour whether or not you decide to have alcoholic drinks or iced tea or coffee or who knows what I love the fact of spending one full hour doing nothing but spending time together. That is the one thing I want to implement in our retirement plan. You are an inspiration to others and I just wanted to let you know that you have inspired me and my husband. You look like you’re very happy in retirement. We are so looking forward to it

Our days are somewhat similar in that there is “comfortable” repetition. Living in the south gives us better weather for outdoor activities in the winter. I thought of you both a couple of weeks ago when we got 3/4 inch of snow here at Myrtle Beach. It melted off within the hour,, but we were those people wearing heavy coats walking the beach that you mentioned in a previous video!

Love that Norm brings you tea in the morning. My Yorkshire husband (of 34 years) brings me coffe almost every morning. He brought his 'teasmaid' with him when he moved to Canada in 1989, and with power exchanger 🤣...it's still going strong, so I don't need to make his morning tea . Tea,toast,marmalade and marmite...that's been his morning breakfast forever.😄 We are planning retirement later this year...and thinking we'll get away from loooong, cold Yukon winters by spending some months in the UK, with some trips from there to warm places. Have you ever spent large chunks of time back in the UK since retiring? We have a rental suite attached to our home, so lucky to have that additional income which will boost our pensions and help with renting something small (monthly airbnb?) in the off months in the UK.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Since retiring we haven’t been back to the UK 🇬🇧 at all , no reason to really and the weather is one reason why we left . We love visiting warmer places like Portugal 🇵🇹 or the USA 🇺🇸 we used to have. a teasmaid when we were England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Cheers 🍷🇬🇧🇨🇦🍺

[@davidrobbins2739]

I must say the picture quality of your videos is excellent. I watch on a 77 inch OLED 4K tv (ie 40% bigger than a 65 inch tv) so the picture so good is impressive. The downside is I don’t see how I can indicate that I like a video on a tv and to do so have to go to my IPAD. We both enjoy your videos.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Thanks David for letting us know how our videos look like on the big screen 😂 We think KZbin is going to be making changes this year to allow for more interactions through T.V. they are saying viewers watching KZbin on T.V. screens is a growing segment.

[@barbaraebner5889]

You are early risers. I made myself a promise I would not get out of bed until 9 am once I retired. Sounds like a nice day in retirement. You are so right about the puzzles, word search. Bravo for the innovative way to walk when cold. I so wish I understood the market. Hopefully your restrictions lift soon. I am in the US we are slowly lifting. Stay well.

Great video. I like your 'groundhog days'. It shows the importance of routines, hobbies, mind stimulation & socializing. Once travel opens up the the addition of trips near or far sounds like a perfect retirement to me.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Yes Rosheen we don’t want to sit in front of the T.V. all day long 😂😂 You are right Travel has been missed and we look forward to more trips to come. Have a nice day.

[@philannmocan6339]

It seems that we "Groundhog Day repeaters" are in good company with you and Norm. Seriously, it's a bit "odd" these days but we appreciate good health and are seeing gyms and movie theaters back...something to do while we wait for warmer weather. Getting some daily movement and enjoying the day...makes it slip by quickly. After 11 years of an early retirement I still find I don't have time to do all I want...that''s a good sign. Also, in this household the first cup of coffee is delivered in bed...BEST cup of the day !! Aren't we spoiled. Cheers !!

Hello again Tina and Norm. It’s been a couple of weeks since I asked you a few questions. Thanks for recommending to look into the particular rental company as it does give me an idea of what and where to look when we decide to sell and possibly rent. We are flying out to Faro next week and as I mentioned that we rent an apartment in Olhos de Agua. It is located two minutes after you climbed the lengthy wooden staircase when you left the beach in your video. There was beautiful orange flowers at the top of the stairs overlooking the beach with a bench which you likely used. We’ve gone each year (except last year) for five years and we love the location. If we every were to meet there one March it would be good to have lunch at Adega Do Ze. If you haven’t been then you need to. It is fantastic food at prices that are ridiculously low. The people work so hard there and I am happy to be able to go this spring and help them out. Enjoy each other and glad you’re still having fun. From a fellow Algarve lover,

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

That’s sounds great to be going to Olhos de Agua , we are just waiting a bit longer for all these CPR tests ( which we think are unnecessary if you are vaccinated) to be dropped in Canada 🇨🇦.Maybe one year we might meet up Cheers 🍷🇵🇹🌺🍺

Your positive attitude is an example to all of us. There will be tens of thousands of people who have worked hard over the years and now have money to spend with nowhere to go, because of this virus. There is now a glimmer of hope for us here in NZ, Queensland is opening borders and NZ must follow soon, so this year we will be able to get some Winter sunshine with any luck. Is that too much to ask for after 45yrs on the treadmill.

Clean up the messy kitchen, start some laundry, check the market, watch videos from blockers in Portugal, Italy, Brazil and some related to investing and finances. I also walk. Towards the end of the day, i cook dinner, we eat and after that Célia goes crochet her amigurumi(she is really good at) and I watch worldwide news.

Hi Norm and Tina! Another great video! My hubby is retired and I plan to retire from municipal government in just shy of 4 years! Wish I could retire sooner but I have to put in 30 years to get my pension when I’m 50. We have plans to do some work in our retirement. I want to become a certified financial planner and my hubby wants to work part time at a golf course. He loves to swim so we’ll be looking for an indoor pool at an apartment and I’ll continue my yoga practice at a studio someplace. You two make us excited to be in retirement together. You are our favorite KZbin couple 💗 take care of yourselves and see you on the next video!

Anyway, nice to see the two of you again and by the way, you both look in great shape! 🙂💕👍👍

Wow that’s great mind games keep us alert Cheers 🍷🌺🍺

[@rosaannarilli4905]

I really enjoyed your video today, love Norm's sense of humor and Tina, your response to his humor always put a smile on my face. My favourite Beatle song is Get Back not sure if you have seen The Beatle's Documentaries on Disney Plus! Hopefully we all can travel soon until than enjoy your day!👍👍

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Glad you enjoyed it Rosa , Get back a great hit too we love the Beatles music 🎶 can’t wait to get back travelling Cheers 🍷🌺🙂

[@kathywebber4936]

Haha to the saying “ground hog day again”….I too use this expression often…..especially nowadays! Hope you can use the pool very soon like I have. Exercise is a great way to keep anxiety at bay. Take care

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Can’t wait Kathy for the pool 🏊‍♀️ to open Tina will be there Cheers 🍷🌺🙂

[@SuperVideoJake]

Hi Tina and Norm! We've followed you for ages now and love your videos BUT ... we were so hoping you'd be travelling again by now. We are currently on our month in the Algarve staying in Albufeira at the Paladim Alagoamar. We were so wanting to buy you a drink and have a photo. Hopefully next year you'll be here again?! Stay safe, stay healthy and keep posting, Alan & Adrian xx

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

We hope you are having a great time too many travel restrictions from Canada 🇨🇦 at the moment hopefully next year Cheers 🍷🌺🍺

[@nairmiller2658]

Bon Dia Tina and Norm. Thanks for sharing. There is always something to do in our lives , as long as we have our health everything else is a bonus. Have a great week.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Great comment thanks for sharing Cheers 🍷🌺🙂

[@candyboyer]

Love you guys, was glad to see a new video. Thanks for the glimpse, I'll be challenged when we retire soon to get my hubby away from the TV 😉

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Good luck Candy , that’s one thing we try not to do is watch the TV all day , just usually in the evenings Cheers 🍷🌺🍺

[@paulabeattie8565]

Your day sounds so much like mine except that I am a night owl. I spend my alone time on the computer, to get things accomplished, in the middle of the night. My husband makes my tea, too; it is nice to be spoiled. He hasn't retired yet but he has been working from home for almost 2 years. I enjoy walking and I do about 1.5 hours a day, however; I am in South Carolina so it is nice on the beach. It is considered 'winter' here so the place is deserted and I am not in the least bit concerned with catching Covid. I will have to try the Yahoo finance site you mentioned, it would be good to keep track in real time of the investments, I review when the markets are closed to see how we did during the day, but real time would be great to enable me to be proactive in making timely decisions. Thanks for teaching me something...again!

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

You are very welcome Paula must be nice to walk on the beach a little hard to do here with the snow ⛄️ LOL 😂have a wonderful week Cheers 🍷🇺🇸🇨🇦🍺

[@kellihammond4956]

Love y'all...such a lovely couple! A 47 yr old viewer from New Mexico!

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Thanks for watching have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🍷 🇲🇽 🍺🇨🇦

[@tonysomewhere5920]

I am here.. will write after your video.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Thanks for coming

[@bearsandbutters]

Hey Tina and Norm! It was cool to see "A Day in the Life" video. Butters LOVES the Beatles as well norm. Hot Cross Buns sound pretty amazing right now for a midnight snack... Butters family always got them for Easter (Catholic Family). It's wonderful that you're both able to exercise an hour a day whether walking or swimming. That's how you both stay so nice and trim. We totally feel that the last 2 years have been Groundhogs Day too, and what a perfect movie to encompass them!! LOLOL Great video and love you guys to the moon! 💖😍🥰🌛😘

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Lovely to see you Bears and Butters we hope you are both well and enjoyed a great Family /Presidents day yesterday . Hot Cross Buns seem to appear here also at Easter and Christmas 🎄 too. Everyday does seem very similar LOL 😂 we love Groundhog Day movie 🎥 seen it many times . We are counting down the days to visit our trailer as the days are getting longer , thanks for visiting have a wonderful week Cheers 🍷🇺🇸🇵🇹🍺🤗

[@reebeeable]

Thanks so much for this video. You two clearly enjoy each others company and that makes a wonderful retirement even in lockdown. Keep the videos coming. :)

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

We have never had a problem spending time together, thanks for your kind comment we appreciate it.

[@karenlowes7802]

I wondered if you were going to mention the blocade here in Ottawa. Thank heavens you didn't go there, but really enjoyed your "day in the life"! 🥰

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Although we weren’t there Karen we do hope all these travel restrictions get lifted so we can get all on with our lives enjoy your weekend Cheers 🍷🌺🍺

[@christopherbarker976]

Hi Tina & Norm thanks for the update can’t wait for everything to get back to normal (what ever that is lol) Regards Christopher Barker

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

We hear you Christopher we think everyone just wants life to regain some sort of normalcy, thanks for watching Cheers 🍷🌺🍺

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

Here's a reflection of a 'typical' day in our pensionado world: Norm, it is 6:20 am and I have just watched the video after checking comments and numbers on my channel 😂! I won't be smelling coffee at 6:30 though. I generally wait for my husband to surface before I have my breakfast. What I do do first though ( after checking YT) is go downstairs and get the newspaper. I do the word puzzles. I've not got the hang of Sudoku funnily enough, though I love playing with figures. We check the news together then see who has planned what for the day. Not daily but a regular 'Port o'clock' session and we share the cooking tasks. Yesterday my husband went on a really intense bush walk activity and I went to Leiden for the day. More freedom is around the corner as far as Corona is concerned. Portugal and Spain looking good. Have a great weekend. 🍷 💃 🌹 🇳🇿 🙋‍♀️ 🇳🇱

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Sounds like you have a great day too Anita although some days it seems like Groundhog Day 🤔 we are still enjoying our days and coping with Covid . Hopefully restrictions will be lifted soon so we can all get back to “normal “ have a wonderful week Cheers 🇳🇱 🍷🍺🇨🇦

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

@@ThisIsOurRetirement 🌹🤩🍷. I couldn’t agree more. Have a great week ahead. 🇳🇿🙋‍♀️🇳🇱

[@carolnavan4137]

Your day sounds delightful! Except for the 5.30am start ~ ack! Hope the pool opens soon.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

We hope so too! Have a wonderful weekend.

[@MandyWildman]

Great video, guys. And Tina - I love your lace top. Breaking the stereotype of wearing dowdy clothes once you retire. Thank you for the inspiration. 😊

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Our pleasure! thanks for liking my top Mandy it is nice to dress up and feel special we hope you have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🍷🌺🙂

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

9:57 LOVE how you have a bottle for each to finish at dinner, we as retired go to get groceries in the mornings between 8 & 9:30 because my hen doesn't want to fool with the crowds and b e back before 10 a.m.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Sounds like a nice day you have , have a great weekend Cheers 🍷🌺🍺

[@danielnascimento9961]

Great couple. I enjoy watching your videos. And also how you complete each other. You would love to see you in Madeira Island where I'm from. I think you guys would love it.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

We have visited Madeira Daniel we were there for a day on a cruise 🚢, it was lovely have a great weekend Cheers 🍷🇵🇹🌺🍺

[@4scoopable]

I enjoy your videos each week. I am still working but you two help me picture what my retirement might look like. I would be interested to know what movies and shows you enjoy watching.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

We like all sorts of movies, we like Cop 👮‍♂️ shows, documentaries of all kinds and researching places to travel to on KZbin Cheers 🍷🌺🍺

[@adeelraiz8172]

God bless you and your family

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Thank you 🌺🙂

[@tanyasteadman4819]

Another great video, thanks for sharing your life. Could you provide any tips on stock photography, who is best company to use in your opinion? Enjoy your groundhog days! Routine is so necessary for our sanity, in my opinion.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Adobe stock seems a fair company to use , yes routine does help even in a pandemic have a great weekend Cheers 🍷🌺🙂

[@Karen-xy8rk]

Tina, love your top! You look fabulous!

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Thanks so much Cheers 🍷❤️🙂

[@geraldmilligan493]

Got room for two more at happy hour? Have you followed the Beans from GB? A young couple who have travel videos of their adventures on KZbin as well. A sweet pair with lots of enthusiasm and great photo editing. Bet they could have been you folks a few years back. Carol & Gerry Milligan

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Thanks for watching Gerald always good to share Happy Hour 🍷🇨🇦🍺

[@carolmichael1813]

Hi Tina and Norm. Good to see you as always. I always feel this time of year is like a hamster wheel and am looking forward to spring. Days getting longer at last and bulbs are coming out. So glad you have the trailer to look forward to. And hope we all have a good summer. Have a good weekend. See you next week. Take good care 💖 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]
