I’m Garth. I live in Minneapolis with my three boys. They were born and raised in this house. They have been my main focus until recently. Aaron is 27 he recently bought a house. Pierce is 24 and just got his first apartment. Isaac is 21 and still at home . I am in the process of closing down my business. Right now I’m semi-retired. Now that my boys are grown I have more free time. We are close so I will never be too far away for to long. Winters here last about six months . So my wife and I are spending time in the phillipines to shorten the winters. We will probably get a condo and split our time here and there.
Crafting Dreams into Reality: My Role at The Vibrant Retirement
My mission at The Vibrant Retirement Hub is to open doors for retirees to live out their dreams. Thirty years ago. I started a small business. It provided the single income we needed for my wife to stay at home and raise the kids. It also, provided a lake home to go play at in the summer. Now I’m entering a new chapter in my life. Retirement. I’m still healthy and still dreaming. We want to do lots of travel and exciting adventures together.
Living in the phillipines is one of my dreams. The people are happy and wonderful! Getting there is expensive. But living there is cheap! We would get up in the morning and have our coffee at one of the beach cafes’ . Heaven!
I am always happier when I’m doing something. My role here is fun and exciting. You can also, create passive income which will finance your dreams whatever they maybe. You can share your hobbies and interests and get paid for it! Anyway, now is a great time. We worked many years! Time to enjoy!
Regardless of where your at in your retirement. You can enjoy and explore new things. In the last couple of years I’ve been kayaking. Yesterday a friend came by and we took our kayaks exploring a nearby lake for the afternoon. We used them last year to go to the BWCA (boundary waters canoe area) we fished and camped. It was wonderful.
My wife loves adventure so when we were in the phillipines. We swam with the whale sharks and sea turtles! We did a lot of island hopping and even tried parasailing, Yikes! The resorts were not expensive averaging $40 a night and very nice! Usually that included breakfast as well. White sand beaches and clear blue water! That’s some laid-back living!
My father in law is fifteen years my senior. He goes dancing twice a week and bowling twice a week. He’s my hero! For myself, staying active and involved keeps my brain happy. May your hobbies and dreams come to pass. Welcome to The Vibrant Retirement Hub!
