A Quick Guide To The Idea And Practice Of Being Semi-Retired
The idea and practice of being semi-retired, which makes semi-retirement a lifestyle.
That’s the thing. This newsletter isn’t merely about working part-time now or when you get older. It’s about living a life where you work less now so you can work less longer. Where you can live your preferred lifestyle in your favorite type of cultural and physical environment at a price you can more than afford.
If you received this email, it’s because you’re a free subscriber to the Living The Semi-Retired Life newsletter. If you signed up within the past few days, you might have come from Charlie Brown’s Simple and Straightforward newsletter, where I wrote a guest post.
I invite and encourage you to upgrade to a paid subscription today. Because a vast majority of the newsletter’s posts go to paid subscribers only. I outline my rationale around being a paid-only newsletter here—
In a minute, I list a handful of recent paid posts—with free previews—that highlight the core themes and types of content you can expect to have full access to as a paid subscriber.
The least expensive way to subscribe is via a founding membership. Pay $100 today and I will convert you to a lifetime subscription. Pay today. Never pay again.
If I do this newsletter for just 20 years out of my 52-year goal (I turn 100 in 52 years!), your effective annual cost on a founding membership is as low as $5 per year. Compared to $50 a year or $5 a month ($60 a year). Plus I’m raising prices—for new subscribers only—at the end of the year. So, subscribe or upgrade today. Because I plan on writing until the day—or day before—I die.
What’s the goal here: To build a community of diverse, yet likeminded individuals on distinct journeys, sharing informative, inspiring and exciting experiences. We’re doing this by blending concrete personal finance ideas and strategies you can adapt to your situation with travel content tied to helpful money tips alongside updates on me and my partner’s plans to move to Spain, hopefully, if all goes as planned, in 2024.
If this means you feel it’s time to unsubscribe, I completely understand. However, if this means you feel it’s time to join and go on this multi-faceted journey together, I’m not only down, I’m super excited.
We also highlight places to get good food, such as DDL Boutique in Valencia, Spain!
