I went through the mental part of this VLOG. I so was not mentally prepared for doing nothing all day. It almost killed me. I live alone. Never married, No kids, no relatives who live close. Kinda the trifecta for loneliness. Overcoming the loneliness is still ongoing but I'm convinced I will get there.

Can I suggest moving to a 55 plus community? There are a zillion activities and social clubs and you can do as much as you want or as little. It is an outstanding lifestyle for people who are alone, including singles clubs etc.

Not sure how healthy you are or where you live but if you can, buy you a nice high quality bicycle and get out and ride, join some riding clubs and meet older folks like yourself and ride a couple times a week or more with others if you can. It makes you feel young, its super enjoyable once you get over the initial out of shape issues and there is nothing better for putting you in a great mood. You will be able to eat more, since your burning more calories, you will sleep better and will get into better overall shape. If that is not a viable option try walking. Being outside is good for the sole. Sitting on your butt inside day in and day out is awful. That's my .02 worth.

I took a pre-retirement 'gap year' overseas. I was turning 55 and had the means to do this for just one year. Learned a LOT about myself and my hobbies and goals. Made sure to get out and explore every day. I took art lessons and train rides to rural locations. I discovered that I am an early riser and NOT just because of an alarm clock! (who knew??) Came back to determined to replicate the same or better experience at age 65 and energized to make it happen. BEST decision EVER!

One thing on my things to do before retirement list that i never hear anyone mention is planning and paying for my funeral. My mom did this and it was a huge benefit to the kids when the time came. It was all planned and paid for. She even prewrote her obit. Just needed minor adjustments. This also meant that she got exactly what she wanted and we were not talked into paying for more than she wanted. I think a lot of people fall into that trap. They feel guilty if they don’t pay for the top of the line stuff. I already have no debt so i’m trying to get things like this done now so i don’t have to worry about them in retirement. ❤

I'm still working, but for myself as a "solopreneur." I work about 20 hours per week, doing only what I like to do (instead of running the bureaucracy). I now no longer give my most; I give my BEST! Neither of us has yet to file for Social Security. She'll file when she spend down those other accounts. I'll file at 70. We anticipate the value of our "permanent" income will be about $140K, plus whatever our IRA provides 5 years from now.. Our hardest question is how to transition from being savers into being spenders.

Why isn’t just banking $100-$150k in liquid assets to cover medical expenses until Medicare a viable option for early retirees? I've researched everything from triple bypasses to cancer and paying cash for those procedures and even in California and New York $150k is enough. Paying $10-15k in insurance premiums is a waste of money for an event that will likely never happen to most of us in the early retirement years of 57-65.

I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.

@@jdenino6022 Some might be more comfortable with a regular insurance contract, but have you ever read the exceptions? Take it from an attorney, regular insurance companies are in the business of denying claims and will invoke any exception clause they can without regard to how cruel it is. Whereas a religious group is likely to actually consider the equities.

I have BC/BS through the federal civil service. I also have TRICARE through my military retirement. When I turned 65, I had to take Medicare Parts A and B--even though I didn't need them--In order to continue to be eligible for TRICARE. This is important because my wife isn't yet Medicare-eligible. Once she is, we might drop both TRICARE and Medicare Part B. We'll see.
