Hi!
Retirees who once dreamed of traveling the world are facing a harsh reality—waiting too long to travel and relying solely on retirement savings to fund it no longer works.
A recent Business Insider article shares stories of people scaling back, delaying, or creatively restructuring their plans due to the skyrocketing cost of travel.
What it reveals is this:
The idea that you can retire at 65, stop earning, and enjoy 20+ years of travel and leisure without financial strain? It’s fading fast.
✅ Top 3 Takeaways:
💥 Retirement isn’t what it used to be.
People are living longer. Prices are higher. Few have the kind of nest egg needed to fund decades of freedom. Relying on savings alone just isn’t enough.
💥 Earning online—using your skills—is the new freedom plan.
If you can write, teach, coach, organize, edit, or consult, you can work remotely. You don’t need a windfall. You need a way to stay engaged and keep earning as you go. That means you can travel now, not “someday.”
💥 Flexibility beats fantasy.
Savvy travelers are simplifying and combining earning with living abroad. It’s not about “retire and relax”—it’s about continuing to earn wisely, living fully, and staying mobile.
I’d love to hear your story about your “what’s next,” or if you want to learn more about how to make earning online part of your journey. Let’s talk.
With love and encouragement,
Jeanne🌺 P.S. Life isn't linear. You don't have to wait to finish one thing to start another. You can work while learning a new skill in preparation for your "what's next."
