Bougie Dreams, Mobility Wedges & the Retirement Question Nobody Wants to Answer
from We Should Probably Edit This — But We Won't
Episode 39 of We Should Probably Edit This – But We Won't opens with Matthew spending 40 minutes trying to get the setup right — which Nancy has exactly zero patience for. From there they get into the real stuff: where do they want to retire? They used an astrocartography tool to narrow it down and landed on Portugal, Spain, Italy, Charleston, and Sarasota as their top five destinations to explore. Portugal is first up in September.They also get into the MOVES method — a flexibility and mobility routine that's revealing just how inflexible two people in their 60s can be. The wedges are on the floor. The neighbor who paddleboards in a wetsuit in January is the goal. And Matthew is eyeing rowing while Nancy wants to get back to dance class. Meanwhile, the body isn't cooperating the way it used to, and they're both trying to figure out what that means going forward.Also: Nancy told Matthew to pick one project. He narrowed it down to three. Progress.💡 Key Takeaways:Pick one project and master it — doing too many things at once means nothing gets done wellPlan your retirement before someone else plans it for you — explore while you still can chooseUse tools to explore, not decide — astrocartography gave them destinations, not answersYour future self is trying to tell you something — the flexibility work now is about tying your shoes at 80Know your strengths — Matthew's a Learner/Achiever; Nancy doesn't want to learn the tech, she wants it to workFind exercise you'll actually do — gym failed, yoga failed, tennis and dance might stick
