Summary
In this episode I talk with Doug (@Dying2Retire), a retired federal worker and Marine veteran who’s done with the DC rat race. We cover his journey from full-time grind to retirement, the practical (and political) reasons he’s pursuing expat life in places like Guatemala, lessons from 45 years working, and advice for anyone wanting to actually enjoy their golden years. Real talk from someone who’s lived it. Follow Our Guest on X: https://x.com/Dying2Retire Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@...
