Join us for our final Living The Retirement Lifestyle newsletter of 2025

As we sign off on the final newsletter of 2025, we just wanted to pause and wish you a very heartfelt

Happy New Year 

Feliz Año Nuevo 

Hand on heart  2025 has been a year of ups and downs, twists and turns
But through it all, we’ve stayed positive, never let go of our dreams, and learnt a lot

If there’s one lesson that stands out, it’s this

Time is our most precious asset 

So as you step into 2026, our wish for you is simple

Don’t waste your time

Be intentional with your time

Choose to spend it with people who genuinely care about your growth,
who value your experience and who want to help you move forward not keep you stuck

Because later life isn’t about going it alone

It’s about learning, growing, and building alongside people who truly understand where you are and where you want to go

We believe 2026 is going to be an important year

So step into this new year with the mindset of success

Trying something new

Taking a risk

Developing skills

Making memories while life is still a little messy

Because your life doesn’t shape itself

You do

We’re signing out from our home  in Spain

It’s a little chilly today, but there are glimpses of blue sky and we have our traditional grapes  ready for when the clock chimes midnight 

Whatever 2026 holds for you, we hope it’s filled with health, freedom, meaningful work and people who truly matter

Here’s to the very best chapter yet

Cheers  

Chris & Susan

Because this felt like one of those messages that mattered, so we’ve done something new

If you’d prefer to listen rather than read, Susan recorded an audio version of this email in her own voice –  just as if we were chatting together

We hope it feels like a warm send-off into 2026

It’s what you are listening to here
