Busy people are never bored! #frugalliving #retirement #france #overseasretirement #frugality

So❤ much wisdom

Evening Jane and visual Mike yes keeping busy is the answer to boredom as long as we have our health - great video

It’s so nice to see Mike having a chat…hope he does more. And funny little Mary guarding her toys. I am 70 and I walk, paint, cook and spend time at our senior centers…we have 10 to choose from so I’m lucky in that. Retirement is definitely an adjustment. When you are working retirement sounds heavenly but it’s not always as good as it seems. So yes keeping busy keeps you happy and going. Thanks for another great video.

Im 67 and retired. I can knit and crochet but I had to give it up cause of carpal tunnel in one of my hands. I just bought trekking poles for walking to burn extra calories and give me a boost as I walk. I'm not usually bored. I packed up my television and stored it away. It's been over 6 years of no TV watching and I don't miss it at all and I don't own a computer or iPad either. Whatever I miss in the news I don't mind or care. And I am a girl. I like to bake and cook and help older people other than myself whenever I am needed. Life is joyful.

I too like to have all my laundry completed by the end of the day. Washed, dried and returned to its place. It doesn’t seem done if it’s hanging out calling my name. I do not mind laundry. Even when I had a large family living at home. I always counted it a win that I didn’t have to lug it all down to the river and pound it on a rock. A washer is such a blessing. Your quilt squares are beautiful. I love having Mike make an appearance on the videos. You have quite a woodpile accumulated. Good on you. Have a happy week going all you do.

Hi Jane. I’m 60 next month. Not working due to health issues. I try to set myself a job a day. Not always possible but keeping my home neat & clean gives me a lot of pleasure. I read more & have learn’t how to do spreadsheets for budgeting. Thanks for your videos. I really enjoy them.🤗

That was funny with the tree, made me chuckle lol X

Loved the video, the puppies and the rising tree. You guys are very hard workers! Thank you for sharing Jane Mike Dolly and Mary.

Great lesson on what my sister calls the swiss cheese approach, taking smaller steps to a goal so not overwhelmed by the entirety of the job.

👍👍👍

Rebmit!! ( the opposite of "timber!") 😂

I live as frugal as I can, but always love your videos for ideas. I am single and will retire in the next couple years, not well prepared for it, so will need to be always searching for new frugal ideas. Thank you both!

LOL! "What's the opposite of timber?" Love your sense of humor, and I was giggling to myself watching that.

Mary's toys look adorable with the little patches. I am all for repairing something even when it is a 50 cent item. It's good practice for maintaining expensive items. That way our first reaction is to fix rather than toss.

Oh my goodness, I laughed so hard when the tree went back upright!😂😂😂

😊💜

Loved "the look" when tree went up. I too have repaired kids and pets stuffies. For my dogs we used old socks stuffed into toe of one sock and tied to make a ball they could chew and sling around. They loved them. Nice to see and hear Mike.

Always so many good thoughts and ideas 😊💜

That was absolutely hysterical when the tree decided to resurrect!!!! And then you go the dog toys....my husband and I had JUST talked about how our Rosie disembowels her toys....yet she has a few that she just refuses to let go.

I've learnt so much by watching you and Mike
