Retire Early Lifestyle
Retirement; like your parents, but way cooler

In 1991 Billy and Akaisha Kaderli retired at the age of 38. Now, into their 4th decade of this financially independent lifestyle, they invite you to take advantage of their wisdom and experience.

Billy Shares His Feelings with You

Friends, Family and Supporters,

We are truly making the best of a challenging situation. Once the initial shock of the speed of decline, and test results with supporting evidence passed, we now are all about quality of life, pain management, and comfort in the remaining time we have together.  

There are no words I can write or sugarcoat my emotions as we both are going through this transition together. It’s very complicated with numerous issues. Our days are blurred as if we are in some kind of time warp, very strange for sure.

Fortunately, we have tremendous support from you, for which we are forever humbled, and also from our neighbors here in Mexico. Seems the taco telegraph is very much aware of our plight and strangers are coming up to me on the street offering aid in any way they can. This helps me get through the hours when my emotions are uncontrollable.

Our landlord and his wife went through this years ago, and he has been very understanding, although the rent still needs to be paid. Ha, ha.

Besides our normal weekly maid, we now have a helper that comes six days a week, two hours in the morning doing light cleaning, breakfast prep and most importantly, assisting Akaisha with her basic needs as well as checking weight changes, blood pressure and massaging her legs to prevent blood clotting.  

I am doing my best cooking healthy, tasty gourmet meals which helps to ground me and she is still my biggest fan.

Please be certain that we read all of your beautiful notes, which sustains us emotionally, as well as laughing, joking and sipping fine tequila. 

This has been one hell of a ride and we are not done YET!

All of our love,

Billy and Akaisha
