Living The Semi-Retired Life: Key West, 'It’s Not Like Florida, At All'
I’m happy we did this housing survey and that many of you responded. Yes, I appreciate it, but, just as important, we’re in the process of learning a little about one another. No matter the retirement or semi-retirement journey you’re on, this is super helpful.
So far, we have featured two subscribers on impressive tracks to traditional retirement. And another who does blue collar work, spends $1,000 a month on housing and hopes to retire in Ireland.
