Your House Might Be Your Fast Track To An Amazing Semi-Retirement

Housing in 2023: feast or famine

Today, we step outside of how housing strongly influences, if not ultimately dictates my semi-retired life now and going forward. And we look at how housing might impact your current or future semi-retirement.

But first, a quick update on where the Living The Semi-Retired Life newsletter is at subscriber-wise.

We have never been more global.

People now read this newsletter in all 50 US states and 90 countries. We have roughly 2,600 subscribers, including 272 who pay to subscribe.

Thanks to everybody, however double thanks to paid subscribers for supporting my work. As a thank you, existing subscribers will not be affected by the upcoming price increase and all founding members (whether you join as one or upgrade) get automatically converted to a lifetime subscription.

I explain my rationale around making this a primarily paid newsletter here. But it’s about more than supporting my work. It’s about the benefits of being part of a community.

Not only do we chronicle the journey me and my partner are on—living the semi-retired life in Los Angeles and, soon, if all goes as planned, in Spain—but on the regular, I hear from subscribers who have plans of their own. Some even inspired by what we’re doing in this newsletter.

So, speaking of plans, today, we look to the bright side of the housing crisis in America. In fact, there are two interrelated bright sides that might surprise you. And there’s a good chance—based on the results of our housing survey—that some of our subscribers might be benefiting or about to benefit from this positive data.
