The Best Travel Moments Are Never Planned (My Le Mans Story) YouTube video by Robert's Active Retirement

Travel season is here… and I’ve learned something:

The best moments are never planned.

I once got off a train in France and ended up at the Le Mans race — completely by accident.

What’s your most unexpected travel moment?

A little different video today.

I recently had a heart procedure for AFib called pulsed field ablation, and I decided to share my experience — what it was like, why I did it, and how it’s gone so far.

I’m Only 76… So I Don’t Have to Worry Yet. Right?
I’m Only 76… So I Don’t Have to Worry Yet. Right? YouTube video by Robert's Active Retirement

A comment from my last video (2,600+ likes):

“Thank goodness I’m only 76… I don’t have to worry yet.”

It made me wonder…

Are we really seeing ourselves clearly as we age—or just a little in denial?

Retirees: Don’t Miss This Easy Car Insurance Discount YouTube video by Robert's Active Retirement

Car insurance keeps going up… but I just found a simple way to get a discount.

I took a Safe Driver Course (only a few hours) and it actually saved me money.

If you’re retired, this might be worth a look.

Day before Valentine’s Day ❤️

Mary Ann and I went to Publix, picked out cards, read them, kissed…

…then put them back and saved $12. 😄

Strawberries and chocolate made it into the cart instead. 🍓🍫

After 52 years of marriage, we’ve learned — it’s not about the card. It’s about the kiss.

Looking back at 77, I see how just a handful of life decisions shaped everything that followed.

Education. Career. Marriage. Children. Debt. Health.

They matter more than we realize at the time.
