Meet Mr. & Mrs. Retirement-55

We’re a recently retired couple navigating this exciting new chapter of life—one decision, investment, and beach walk at a time. After decades of working, saving, and planning, we officially retired at 55 and launched Retirement-55 to document our journey, share strategies, and build a community of others doing the same.

Mr. Retirement-55 brings the numbers—investment strategies, budgeting tools, and market insights from years of experience managing both personal and professional portfolios.

Mrs. Retirement-55 keeps things grounded—balancing lifestyle, wellness, travel goals, and the emotional side of this transition. While she’s still working for at least another year, she’s looking forward to the day when she can fully embrace this next phase of life.

Together, we’re figuring it out in real time. Whether it’s managing income from our 401(k)s, exploring passive income streams, or adjusting to daily life without a 9-to-5—we’re here to learn, grow, and share it all with you.

Let’s retire smarter, live better, and make 55 the beginning of something great.
