Retire early, retire often: how to take a mini‑retirement

with

Kristin

Notes

12 January 2022

After 15 years in corporate work, Kristin wanted to spend some time with her partner in their home countries, to decide where they’d want to live long term.

It just didn’t seem possible to combine travel from London to New York and New Zealand with their full-time jobs.

The solution? A mini-retirement.

Now Kristin is putting the word out about the possibilities of mini-retirements.

Make sure to follow Kristin’s Instagram @miniretirementmovement... she puts out inspiring content every day!

You can also connect with Kristin on Twitter @MiniRetirements and buy her a coffee here.
