Скачать или смотреть MINIMUM WAGE: Can We Retire In Our 50s?

Are we really able to retire in our 50s while earning the equivalent of two full-time minimum-wage jobs?
That’s the question we’re trying to answer — honestly, openly, and in real time.

I’m Rob, 52, and after a lifetime of long hours and low pay, I realised I didn’t want to wait until state pension age to finally enjoy life. We’re not high earners, we’re not “financial experts”… we’re just a normal couple living frugally and trying to build a realistic early-retirement plan on a tight budget.

In this video, filmed while walking through the Welsh hills, I share our true situation and the steps we’re taking to escape work early. No hype, no big promises — just real figures, real decisions, and a genuine attempt to retire in our 50s on a very modest income.

If you're also earning low wages, stuck in a job you don’t enjoy, or wondering whether early retirement is even possible for people like us… this channel might give you hope, ideas, and encouragement.

I'll be sharing monthly updates with actual numbers, progress, and obstacles — so join us on this journey to financial freedom, even on a minimum-wage income.
