Our Trial Retirement In The UK: Still Figuring It Out!

We thought early retirement would be all long walks, slow mornings, and zero stress… turns out it’s a little more complicated! After leaving our teaching jobs in the U.S. and moving back home, we decided to try a “trial retirement” — no travel plans, no big projects, just seeing what everyday retired life actually feels like. Spoiler: we’re still figuring it out! In this video, we share the honest ups and downs of early retirement — the surprises, the laughs, and the lessons we’ve learned so far. If you’re thinking about trying your own trial retirement (or just curious what it’s really like), this one’s for you.
