GBRichard & Jackie, We’d both just like to say a HUGE thank you for your book, ERW. We took some time to read your fantastic book while we were away in our campervan, Cassie. We’re also “early retirees”, although we’re at a slightly different stage to yourselves. We found so many similarities and crossovers with our own story, and we’ve taken great comfort from the realisation that, actually, we’re doing okay! 😊 As you mention in your book, each of us has a unique set of circumstances, and these inevitably influence and shape the kind of retirement we find ourselves able to enjoy. We’ll definitely be dipping back into the book from time to time—as a reminder, a source of ideas, and perhaps a little hint or nudge when we need some inspiration. One thing we did wonder about, which might be a valuable addition to Volume 2 of ERW—although potentially a little morbid!—would be an outline guide or plan for what to do should we find ourselves in the sad situation of becoming the surviving partner. Particularly as you’re both travelling together, having some sort of practical “what if” plan in place could be incredibly helpful. It’s obviously not something any of us particularly want to think about, but perhaps having a few key things written down in one place could provide reassurance and make an incredibly difficult time just a little easier. Once again, our heartfelt thanks for putting together such a thoughtful and informative book, and for sharing your experiences with all of us so openly. With our very best wishes, David & Christina
