Thanks Doug and Monique! Your videos are always so positive! Thanks for all the excellent suggestions. You've given us some great ideas to think about and take action on. In fact, we are already embracing one of them which is to Celebrate Milestones. To celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary next month we are spending 3 weeks touring Iceland. Cheers!
Hello guys! Wow 30 years!! That’s awesome! So happy for you that you’re marking your amazing marriage with an amazing trip! Congratulations 🥳! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers! M&D
Boa tarde and hello from Canada 🇨🇦. Agree, with helping our children, especially, in today’s day and age. How are you doing with the fires in beautiful Madeira? Keep safe! 😊
Hello! The fires 🔥 have been burning. It’s very sad. We are safe. Thank you so much for watching! We agree with you especially in this day and age. Cheers! M&D
Hello Darlia! Absolutely! Being generous with causes that you feel passionate about especially those that help people is a great way to spend money in retirement. Cheers! M&D
👋🏼 Small struggling Travel Channel here. I love your content, thanks for this great video! You inspire me to keep grinding my channel, maby one day I’ll grow as big as you 🥲

Hello! We have found an amazing dog 🐶 sitter here on this island. Leo loves going there to be with him and socialize with other old timers! Thanks for watching! ✨ Cheers! M&D
I also believe to be mentally healthy in the second half of life, one has to be hopeful and plan for the future. Purposely planning to do nothing in retirement will more than likely shorten your "Second Half of Life".
Hello Chris! So very well said. Mental health is so important and being excited and having plans is a part of that. Thanks as always for watching and for commenting. Cheers! M&D
Love your videos and the fact you are living your second half of life to it’s fullest. One small tidbit about Rich Dad Poor Dad he is $1.2 billion in debt. If you read about him he has no remorse using other people’s money and has no desire to pay it back.
Hello Mrs Jones!! 🤣😆 Yes it’s hard to keep up with the Joneses…. Not even sure how you handle that! lol! 😆 Always great hearing from you! Love 💕 frugality… it’s the secret to so much freedom and certainly isn’t going without. For us it’s about spending the money where we get the most value. Thank for watching and for commenting. Cheers! Hope to see you around! M&D
If I wasn't frugal all my working life, I wouldn't have been able to put my 2 kids through college w/out a loan. I am glad that they are on a firm footing financially. I try to teach them to be frugal as I was, but hard to convince the new gen to be like you. Some times its tough to reason with them when they splurge the money on things. Atleast, I have enough now in retirement to freely spend on travels to Europe without thinking twice. with regard to business / First class travel even though i could afford, my conscience does doesn't allow me to to throw that extra thousands for a few hours of leg stretching and would spend that on creature comforts, nicer places to stay etc. I guess the value for money drives that notion. Great video and advice.
If you are helping your kids in their 20s, you will continue helping them in their 30s, 40s and when you are gone, they suddenly realize that they just cannot pick the phone to call you for more. Don't be cheap to yourself.
Hello Boris, We all need help starting out in our 20s, especially these days. If an adult child is working, doing everything they can, being a responsible contributing member of society - then helping them is the right things to do. It’s a misconception that helping ( financially or otherwise) leads to dependency. It leads to a feeling of safety and security that enables an adult child to feel connected and supported and hopefully one day generous with others. They are going to inherit all the money in the end. You either give it with a warm hand or a cold heart . It’s different if they are relying on money from a parent and acting in an irresponsible way. That’s a much trickier situation. Thanks for watching. Cheers! M&D
@@Track_Us_Down You are a child in your teens. In your 20s, you are either an adult or still a child. Not both. True, your child will be always a child to you whether she or he in her/is 20s or 40s. In your 20s you were better than you are now. You may lack sophistication dealing with people, your testosterone is running way high, etc, …but other than that you’re way better. When your children in their 20s they need to try as many things as they can to find what they are really good at to make a living. Otherwise you will have, one day, your over 40 year old kid moving backing with you because he cannot make it on his own. Yes, the kids will inherit at the end. Unfortunately. But you don’t want your kids fighting over it as soon as you are gone …because they are unable to make it on their own and already are dependent on what they stand to inherit.
Thanks for the continuous update! I am super excited about how I got retired earning more income and stop depending on anyone. My family are happy once again and I can now afford anything for my family even with my Retirement. consistently earning $25k weekly, has been life changing after so much struggles.
Right, I had enough of Windows 10, and thought to switch to Apple. But HP had a very nice offer. So I had to learn W11 with then 70 years. One month went by on May 23. The machine is Portuguese 🤣😂. Happy end!. Well, well, I have to say that I wrote my first computing program in 1972. This machine is so fast (SSD) that I took it for 7 months to Argentina and Uruguay, where all the power outlets are different. Nice, big challenge. I think I’m in the third half of life 😂😄
Hello Teodoro! We always love hearing from you as you say living your better 3rd half of life! You always make us smile!😃 Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Cheers! M&D
