Radio Enso #74: Warren and Betsy Talbot

Join me Monday, March 4th at 6 p.m. Pacific/9 Eastern on Radio Enso. My guests will be Warren and Betsy Talbot of the blog Married with Luggage. We’ll talk about their new book Dream Save Do and MUCH more!

 

About: The world is changing, and so is the idea of the American Dream. Before, you could work hard, climb the career ladder, buy a nice home, start your family, and then work until your golden years, where you could then travel and enjoy the life you worked so hard to build.

 

That may have been true for your grandparents – maybe even your parents – but it is no longer a guarantee for you. You don’t want to wait until you are a senior citizen to enjoy a good life, and you know from the headlines around the world that you cannot really count on that anyway.

 

Enter Warren and Betsy Talbot, who spent 25 months amassing enough cash to fund a 5-year trip around the world. They went from corporate worker bees to backpacking vagabonds, curiously earning the envy and admiration of everyone around them as they bucked the system, chose a different path, and set off to explore their dreams 20 years ahead of retirement schedule.

 

They write about creating the life you want from the life you already have on Married with Luggage, and they advocate regularly trying new things through their weekly newsletter. They have been very open about the money side of big life changes, penning the books, Dream Save Do and Getting Rid of It: Eliminate the Clutter in Your Life.
