Ju and I effectively retired 3 years ago, aged 43<\/a>. We made a video chatting about early retirement at the time<\/a>, and another one 5 months later<\/a>. We also wrote a free ‘mini guide’ explaining how we did it, which has since been downloaded a few thousand times (available here as a PDF and other formats<\/a>, and here for Kindle<\/a>). We followed this up with a full book describing what we’ve done to achieved and retain our financial independence: The Non-Trep<\/a>r<\/a>eneurs<\/a>. The BBC featured us on their home page<\/a> back on 1 Jan 2018, which had about a million views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then though we’ve not really said much about how early retirement’s going, so we’ve just sat down with a cuppa and had a chat about it (see below). The video’s about 35 minutes long, and touches on what we did to get free and why, what we’ve been doing for the past three years, plus some of the ups and downs over the past years (yep, life still ain’t quite perfect, but we’re working on it folks!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
