One of the biggest questions we get asked is: “How can you afford to slow travel the world after 50?”
In this episode, we share how we budget, plan, and prioritize to make full‑time travel possible on a retirement income—without being rich! We talk about the real costs of living abroad, the sacrifices we made, and how this lifestyle can be more affordable than staying put.
👉 You’ll hear about:
✅ Our exact mindset shift around money and freedom
✅ Why slow travel can cost less than a traditional lifestyle
✅ Budgeting tips and real examples of our monthly expenses
✅ How we prepared financially before taking the leap
✅ Why freedom doesn’t always require millions in the bank
