I really admire the beautiful relationship between the two of you. Years ago when my husband was laid off I really enjoyed having him around the house. Of course he needed to go back to work because we needed money but it was nice to have him around.

I truly feel sorry for those who have to be out in the snowy cold weather. When it gets colder and I see a lot of snow I talk to God and thank Him that I have a warm house.

I'm am so happy for you both !! My husband retired after 42 years with the Railroad as a switchman/brakeman and like you he can now sit indoors and enjoy rain, sleet or snow or even the high summer temps and not have to be out on the rails walking the track or switching cars in the weather. Enjoy life and your sweet wife :-)

We live in a much smaller downsize. And what you say runs true for us too. We are both retired. We have a narrow bedroom entryway that can be problematic but most times we are gracious and defer passage to the other 😉 One thing that helps us with noise is a small round "white noise" machine. If one wants a nap, or needs time in another room without hearing the other's phone call - it works! Headphones too are a great tool. We also like morning "quiet times" apart in bedroom & living area with coffee. We wake up after our first cups of coffee and then are ready to face whatever the day has in store together. So happy for you too & we get the same question too about 24/7!

Next July he can start social security and draw from his pension where he worked for 31 years, we are debt free and it's great.

Considerate and respectful, that is the key to being in a small space. My Husband and I work our jobs from home for years now, and we have absolutely loved it. One thing that sometimes work for us (me really) when Hubby seems to be hanging around a little too much is to go to a coffee shop or library for a little while to work. But then I miss him and wander back home. A wonderful life indeed!

When I had to move out of my apartment for renovations and moved into a motel room for a few months, my two teen daughters and I learned that we got along better in the smaller space than a roomy apartment where someone could go off and pout and let anger fester. Smaller spaces are better for families in my personal opinion because it causes us to learn to be respectful and accommodating of each other. You are such a darling couple! God bless yous!
@LiveSimpleLiveFree6 жыл бұрын
That's an interesting perspective. I've never heard anyone say anything like that, but I think there may be some truth to it! The usual argument is that you MUST have room for more person space or you will drive each other crazy. I've never bought into that idea. Being forced to work things out because of living in a small space sounds like a better idea to me!

Husband and I have been married 46 years, he retired from John Deere 1 yr. ago. I told him then he wasn't "retired", he was "repurposed." We live in a tiny house connected by a breezeway to "the big house" we used to live in. That's where our daughter and all her family live now. We all share 12+ acres and the animals. My husband thought he couldn't live in a tiny house, but it has worked out well for us, we are cozy, content, and blessed. Supposed to get 7-9" of snow here Friday, SW Michigan.

Just subscribed to your channel; love it. You two remind me of my wife and I. She retired 5 years ago, I retired last year. We got rid of our camper and brought a Park Model that has 390 square feet and put it at our campground which is seasonal. My wife would stay there year round if we could. Our house is 1800 sq feet which is too big for us now. Looking at selling it. We both have a pension and social security so we were able to retire and enjoy life. No more 60 hours a week working and clearing snow from the parking lots in the winter. It is much better looking at the snow fall from my window. Since I was a work alcoholic, it took me some time to adjust to our new life style. And, I had to learn to say no when my ex employer would call and beg me to come in and work. My wife would not let me; she is the boss. So, retirement can be nice and you can live in a tiny house and save money. Now, if you decide to buy a tiny house, check with your local zoning codes department first. You can not just place a tiny house anywhere and in some areas not at all. If you plan on living in cold weather, make sure the tiny house has the winter package.

I have a lot of retired friends that think they can't possibly live without escaping Wisconsin in the winter. I worked 48 years. Now I stock up on groceries on the nice days, and on days like today, I lay on the bed watching YT, or reading a book while the snonadoes fly by my window! I'm content just being warm and not having to drive to work on snow!
