Change Of Plan

We’re Gary and Shelley, and two years ago we walked away from toxic jobs and the UK rat race to design a life we actually wanted. Not rich, not retired in the old sense — but free. On this channel, we share what that really looks like. Part of our story is moving to Portugal — from the cost of living and finding a home, to festas, culture, and the reality of starting again abroad. But it’s also about something bigger: breaking the myths of retirement, facing burnout, and finding financial freedom by working differently. If you’ve ever thought, ‘I can’t keep doing this until 67,’ or dreamed about changing your life before it’s too late, this channel is for you.
So, if you want honest advice, real stories, and the courage to create your own change of plan, subscribe and join us every week and follow us on our journey to 'create not consume'.
