Tyke and Tina Adventures in Retirement

These photos stopped us for a second.

Us today & what AI thinks we may look like in 20 years.

It reminded us of something powerful neuroscientists discovered:

🧠 Your brain often treats your future self like a stranger.

That’s why saving, investing, or making sacrifices for retirement can feel so hard.

But when people SEE an older version of themselves.
They actually make better financial decisions.

That future version of you isn’t a stranger.

It’s YOU.

That realization is a big part of why we chose early retirement and a simpler life built around freedom, experiences, and time together.

One day, your future self arrives.

The question is:
Will they thank you for the choices you’re making today?

💛 What’s one thing you could do THIS year to help your future self?

Tyke and Tina Adventures in Retirement

Hello Friends! We have listened to you and all of your amazing questions and comments. Many of you have asked how we were able to retire early and feel confident about our finances.

The truth is, a big part of it came from learning how to manage our investments properly — and the person who taught us those skills is Lisa Smith.

So we did something special…

👉 We invited Lisa onto the channel to share some of the strategies that helped us fast-track our retirement.

Lisa’s personal mission is to teach 1 million people how to invest for free through her YouTube channel, and we think many of you will really benefit from what she’s going to be sharing this year on her YouTube channel.

🎥 Watch the collaboration video here: (scheduled to go live today)

If you enjoy it, please consider subscribing to Lisa’s channel too — she’s helping a lot of people learn skills most of us were never taught.

✨ Happy New Year! ✨
As we step into a brand-new year, our hearts are full—grateful for our family, friends and this amazing community, and thankful to God for guiding us through every country, customs check point, and “well…that didn’t go as planned” moment 😄
This past year brought new places, (6 new countries to be exact) new perspectives, a few wrong turns, and plenty of reminders that when we trust the journey, things have a way of working out just as they should.
Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and support of our not-so-ordinary retirement adventure. Here’s to a New Year filled with faith over fear, purpose over pressure, joy in the journey, and the courage to follow your heart—one step at a time.
Cheers to new beginnings and many blessings
With grateful hearts,
Tyke & Tina
