How It All Started…

Lots of people have asked me what An Encore Voyage is all about.  Well, it’s like this…

Hubs and I were just going along, working at our jobs and saving a little each paycheck, just like a jillion other couples out there…

And then we weren’t…

First it was me.  The situation changed in my teaching world, and that sweet man-o-mine said to me,

“Honey, You don’t Have to Have a Job That Makes You Cry.”

So I quit  retired early.  Things were going along famously, with me living the cushy life of being a “kept woman,” until…

What the Heck Just Happened?!?

Yep, he got laid off, too!!  And we went from a six figure household income to zip, nada, zilch – overnight!  And what started from a position of complete panic, developed into our second act – an encore voyage if you will.  We spent a couple of weeks in heartfelt discussions.  Wine was involved.  And then I asked him,

“What Do You Reeeally Want to Be When You Grow Up?”

So after quite a bit of soul searching, and more wine (are you seeing a pattern here?) we came to the conclusion that he wanted to be

Frank, Warren & Jimmy,

and that through it all,

I am the CEO.

And we were off an running.  Sort of flying by the seats of our pants, making it up as we went along, part retirees, part adventurers, part minimalists, always loving the journey and committed to our Encore Voyage.  We invite you to voyage with us!
