Many folks struggling to cover basic expenses often face this challenge because they didn't save enough during their working years. The choices made in preparing for retirement have significant impacts, as seen in my own family. Different investment strategies led to different outcomes. With guidance from a financial advisor, I'm now enjoying my retirement.

Yes, I'm in my mid-50s, and a few years back, I moved my investments to my wife's wealth manager. While I haven't caught up to her long-term gains, my current earnings and the growth of my retirement fund, compared to just relying on the 401(k), are pretty satisfying.

Hello guys I work as a driver in Santorini and I live here all year round. Santorini is a very touristic place but it's totally worth it to visit because as a Greek this place is very unique. Every place in the world has many sides like Santorini. For sure is one off the most expensive islands but trust me the cost of living in Santorini ever for us the locals is very expensive but when you go around a bit I ll always say is worth it! Anyway in Santorini you can find and very nice restaurants not so expensive and really nice hotels for your staying not so expensive also. Anyway really nice video thank you for all of you for visiting us and if you are not you should come once and if you need an advice, come after half of September or October that for me is the best time. And for the sunset Oia is beautiful but not the best. The best sunset as a local is in Imerovigli and Pyrgos. Good morning to all of you from Santorini

I've been to Santorini and had an amazing time there! Those views... I need to go back! Indeed the streets are super crowded and claustrophobic! During sunset you can't even walk in Oia because of so many people but I spent the other days exploring different sides of the island and that was nice. In terms of price, I did a lot of research and found amazing and affordable tavernas. Honestly, I found the food from the tavernas were much more tasty than the ones from the expensive restaurants. The sunset is stunning! Next time I want to stay in one of those hotels by the caldera so I can watch the susnet from the pool far from the crowds :-D Great video!

We stayed 5 nights in Imerovigli. For us the best spot in Santorini. The Hike was one of our highlights. The top of Skaros Rock as well. We went to Oia at 8.00 and is was beautiful. Mostly ate pita's for €3.80 and it was yummm. Also the villages Pyrgos and Emporeion were very relaxing and beautiful. We went to Santorini in the end of May.

I agree with you about the path of tourist walking passed your room! I prefer less crowds..For me, a Santorini holiday my choice for a hotel would be either Fira or Imerovigli. I'm not interested in staying longer than a few days. It seems very touristy and crowded. I'm sure the cruise ships bring much of the crowds for the sunset experience. I am more excited to go to Paros for an extended trip. I think it is more local and laid back. The kind of relaxing holiday I am interested in. Thank you for your videos! I look forward to your next adventure! 😎

Investigating and planning is key when visiting Santorini. Accommodation - my wife and I did not want to have noisy nightlife so we stayed in Akrotiri. Acomm was ver affoddable with picture perfect sea and caldera views from our hotel room. Food - we like staying away from touristy places and had superb food at very good prices. Sunset view- that was very disappointing. But only because we have been to Africa and nothing but nothing beats an African sunset. To us, a very basic sunset that many other places offer. Will I go back? No, but only because cause we have been there. If you have not been, you must go!!!

I have very mixed feelings about Santorini. Stayed there for a full week for a friend's wedding. Firstly, you don't need to stay there for more than a few days. Yes, it look stunning, but once you get passed how lovely it looks I found there was basically no culture, and all the shops and restaurants are tourism-central. I'm a bit weird in that I'd rather stay somewhere a lil rough around the edges like Athens where there's loads going on.

I think it’s sad that you presented oia and fira as „santorini“.. i was in santorini in early june this year and it was beautiful!! We stayed in perissa, the beach there was beautiful too and 5 min away from us. We rented a quad and drove to fira, oia and pyrgos. Pyrgos is amazing for the culture and jewellery shops! For the sunset, we drove to the alt-thera mountain and it was the best decision! We saved a lot of money because we cooked ourself small meals every day. The last day, we ate in a resturant in oia and it was not expensive at all, because the „big view“ while eating was not important for us. In conclusion, santorini is beautiful if you book off season and if you know where to go! 🥰

Really nice honest video. My wife and I had our honeymoon in Santorini staying in Fira and absolutely loved it. We went to Oia during the daytime but came back the following day to watch the sunset just further around to the North sat on a small sandy beach, it was heaven. I’d recommend a trip to the volcano but take plenty of water as it’s hard walking, also hire a quad bike and explore the east of the island where you can find beautiful fishing ports and small seafront bars, plus a trip to Akrotiri and Ancient Thera is a must. We will certainly be returning at some point when the pandemic calms down, hopefully for our wedding anniversary.

@@Shannen312 We had 10 days at the Philippion Boutique Hotel which is on the coast road and about 10-15 minutes walk from Fira centre. I would thoroughly recommend it as it was reasonably priced for Santorini, I think we paid around £800 for the 10 nights including breakfast. Our room was near the back of the hotel so we didn't get any road noise at all. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff were really helpful and friendly. We had a couple of days by the pool which was relaxing and welcoming also. Fira is a 10 minute walk and the supermarket less than that. You can also just walk across the road and sit on the wall opposite the hotel to watch the sunset. Have a wonderful time, we'll certainly be going back as soon as is possible.

Just came back from Santorini last week, and Agree 100%. the crowds are incredible, drinks are 12 -15 Euros ! whaaaat !! convert that back to dollars. Food is a good portion most times Fish seems a bit pricey for being caught on a daily .Very Pretty place Very pretty walking is great. Greeks are nice, but they seem very stern and abrupt maybe tired of tourists at this time of the year? recommend it for a day or 2. Is great weather durning the day and a person the runs hot the evings are cool, for some it might seem Very cool, winds were incredible , but again I just came back. Most beach side stores in the process of closing for the season so keep that in mind. Over all I enjoyed this island, but feel like I enjoyed other Islands alot more. SIde note the Views are incredible but again for 1, 2 maybe 3 days.

You can pay top price at restaurants and hotels if you want a view but there are lots of great hotels and restaurants away from the caldera thar are far cheaper and amazing food. We like to mix it up over the week, you can also stay in kamari, perissa perivolos etc and travel up to fira or oia. These resorts are far cheaper and less crowded

When I visited a while back we slept in sunbeds by the road opposite Oia towards Akrotiri. It costed us exactly 0. In reality, Santorini is a big island and the less popular parts are reasonably priced. You can get 90% of the experience for sub 100 EUR per night accommodation. Today's tourists are spoiled, back in the day people would eat EUR 1 loafs of bread with EUR 1 Lacta chocolate sandwiches to get them through the day and maybe spend 20 EUR per person on a salad and a beer for dinner. I am pro high prices though because they bring tax revenue to the government. If you have the money spend it, if you don't there is still room for you too to enjoy the island. It is not Monaco or Disneyland, real people live in Santorini too.

We just spent 4 days in Santorini. We chose to spend more on a room in Oia. Overall I didn’t think it was that expensive. The prices in Oia is but Fira was more affordable. I’ll just say this, there is nowhere in the world that is as stunning as Santorini. The views r almost indescribable. If u get a chance, go. One tip, bring beach shoes. None of the beaches have sand. They r all rocks of various sizes even when u get in the water. You’ll definitely want them when u jump off the cliff in Ammoudi Bay.

How things change! My friend and I stayed 3 nights there in 1983 and, at the exchange rate then, we had a caldera view and paid $7/ night.

Girl, its Santorini. What did you expect it to be, cheap? People spend money on freaken Monaco, Ibiza or you name it. Santorini is 500 times more worth it.

whenever i go to santorini I never go to a hotel inside Fira, they are very expensive. I always choose one of the nearby villages, very low price rooms, and Fira is like 10 minutes away with a bus or rental car... In one occassion though, I did find a very very cheap and beautiful room inside Fira with a pool, you just have to search for it and go away from those ....ads... Also if you don't want a hotel, many of the locals rent their own rooms which are very cheap and better option for a low budget I never took a donkey, always walked down those stairs and up with the cable car. Donkies can take that heat and weight, they have no problem with it, I was just a bit scared because of the steep turns going down the stairs. (The cable car is scarier btw lol) About the beaches, yeah, you cannot swim on the side of the volcano, it's extremely deep, not safe. But the other side of Santorini has black sand beaches which are very good. One of them, Monolithos, is very good for children because it is extremelly shallow up to the knee for many many meters in. So, one side of Santorini is for the view, the other for swimming

It's not worth it if you visit during the summer when the island is overcrowded. The rest of the year it's much better, especially during autumn. The sea is still warm for swimming and the tourists are 1/3 of what they are during peak season.

Just got back from here, u just have to pick a quieter time in time in the year to go-avoid Oia at sunset time and head to the lighthouse on the other end of the island...much quieter to see the sunset. I found it an odd place really, seems very poor in places but then 5 mins away u have villas renting for 1000's of pounds. Am i glad i went..yes..would i return..no. i think once u have seen it and done it there isnt much else to see again

Not true , compared to other popular destinations is cheaper and more value for money. For example recently I went to Venice and the hotel 2OOper night was awful also the food was very average and very expensive. For example 7 euro for 2 small tomatoes. At santorini you get a gyros for 4 euro. Water at Greece is 0,50 everywhere and at Venice was 2 euro

I don’t think you put a price tag on one of the most beautiful places in the World. Think of it this way, would you have preferred not going and saving the money…..he’ll no. You’d regret it for the rest of your life. And yes, you had cheaper places outside the two main cities. We just stayed in akrotiri and it was awesome, I actually preferred it because it was more convenient getting to the red and black beaches and other parts of the island….and akrotiri was much quieter…..
