Roy & Karen: To Retirement and Beyond

Roy & Karen: To Retirement and Beyond Facebook presence for our YouTube Channel Our story is inspirational and a testimony to God and how he transforms people.

We met on Prodigy [online] in 1991, met in person in 1992, started dating in 1993, got married in 1995, got divorced in 2012 and we were re-married in 2016. This channel is also about making dreams happen. As a Los Angeles couple keeping up with the Joneses, we were in debt and had no money set aside for retirement. Then we took Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University class - and followed it with

"Gazelle Intensity" - from becoming debt free all the way to now being mortgage free too. Now we are working on building our nest egg. With the crazy real estate market in the Austin, Texas area we were able to cash out and buy our new home in The Villages, Florida. Though we are still working, we are working our way to retirement. In early 2023 we bought an RV [2020 BT Cruiser 5240] to help us with our wanderlust.

"The Boys" are ready to go to the Dog Park! They are so much calmer about riding in the golf cart now. I can take them all by myself and they will sit nicely.

Some people reached out to tell us that it was just too expensive to do all that I suggested on my first video on lawn care in The Villages. Black Friday should help a little bit with that, but in this video I also give you a little more info on how to cut back on the chemicals.

Before we take off on this adventure we needed to celebrate Karen's Birthday! YAY!!!

We grabbed 5 nights at Curry Hammock State Park when someone canceled. It was the perfect number of days for a vacation while Karen was still working. But since we are both now retired, we were able to add a few days at Fort DeSoto.

This was to be an e-bike adventure, but sometimes things don't go as planned.

After Chicago pizza we needed to get out of the "Big City" and found Indiana Dunes National Park just an hour away. 2.5 miles of getting lost on the dunes was fun - kinda sorta. We'd never heard of Indiana Dunes - and we'd never heard of our next stop either - Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio. Both parks were unique and loads of fun.
