One comment I hear a lot is, boy, it's nice to hear you share some good news about retirement. It seems like you're on here a lot talking about the struggles and the problems and the hardships, and there's a good reason for that. I used to tell my senior people at work, you don't need to bring me the good news. The good news takes care of itself. Just bring me the problems and we'll work on those together. And I would tell them, like, if you want to celebrate something and you want to tell me something good that happened, that's cool. But the good news always takes care of itself. And I feel that's the same way with new retirees. At least that's my guess. That's the way it was with me. I really wasn't interested in watching a bunch of videos of somebody vacationing, taking a motorcycle tour, bicycling, traveling. I figure people who are looking for videos on fun retirement activities, are probably in a pretty good spot. My videos are for people that are working through the transition and struggling a little bit. So naturally, I'm going to be posting about the stuff that I went through so they can hear someone else say it and they can hear what someone else did when they went through it. Yeah, it's probably not as fun as if I did like a my trip to Europe video. But first of all, I don't have any intentions of taking a trip to Europe anytime soon. And I just don't know how relatable it would be. I guess there's probably a channel in that like a retirement travels channel. It's you know, for someone else to do. But kind of my jam is, are you struggling with your retirement transition? Or are you concerned about the retirement transition? Here's what I went through. Here's what worked for me. Here's what didn't. And here's where I am now. I will post updates from time to time so people can see that there is light at the end of the tunnel if you're struggling through the transition. But mostly, I want to share the stuff that's going to be most helpful to people, as opposed to sort of aspirational content about what retirement could be like. Because when I retired, if I would have just seen a bunch of videos of someone being super happy in retirement, I would have thought I see no pathway from here to there. And what I hope my videos help provide is that pathway from a happy worker to a happy rester.
