- Sit down with us as we chat about why we decided to quit the corporate world, bring my husband home at age 40, and do our own thing. We will talk about why we made this decision, how we made it happen, what our life looks like now, and answer some questions I've gotten about how we retired at 40.

I truly think you made the right decision, esp. as homeschoolers. I wish my husband and I had made this choice.
Congratulations! I quit my full-time job at 55 and have been seriously working on my blog and You Tube channel for the past year and a half. I actually started a few years ago but never had the time to learn how to do a lot of the technical stuff. Thanks so much for the tips. I love your content. ❤😊
Good for you! It takes time, so just keep going! The tech stuff is so tricky but it feels so good when you can overcome the challenges.
So enjoyable to hear your stories. You’re a lovely family and I’m happy you get to spend quality time together. Kids grow up so fast and these are the times they’ll cherish! Best of luck to you all!
Thank you Linda! They do grow up so fast! Part of the reason we jumped now - 3 more years and our first will be out of the house!
It was one of the best things when my husband retired. I have to say it was a little scary at the beginning but it is working out fine. Our kids are adults and work, but they live with us and we are a happy family. We are so blessed that my husband can do many different things and don't have to pay for someone else to do them. As my hubby says, he has more to do now than when he was working, but he is has less stress and it is on his time. Mr Tidbits will be busy lol. Really happy for you guys.
Glad to have heard a success story! Isn't it amazing how much money you can actually save by doubling your efforts at home. I've been amazed! And yes, he is still very busy and will always have stuff to do, but we don't seem to have that crushing overwhelm feeling that we lived with, in-spite of our best efforts. It all just seems more doable. Sure appreciate your comment! Loved it!
Congratulations!! This is such an awesome thing that you and your hubby can do. We are in our late 50s and I have been growing my blog and now my CZcams channel so that it can be our retirement income. Your testimony gives me hope!!
Keep going! It will be well worth it! THank you so much for watching my video!
I think you guys are doing great, you enjoy what your doing and God will do the rest. When I decided to retire it was scary, but I have made it and you will too. I feel like your kids will be so much better. Have a great time and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Marlene! It's a leap of faith, for sure, but we already feel so blessed and free. I sure hope we can make it work! I appreciate your confidence in us!
You two are so cute together. It’s so refreshing to see such positive content on Social Media. My husband is a lot like your husband, and I count my self SO blessed! What did we do to deserve such amazing men? I don’t care, I am just so lucky. ( I hear you about your husband being a better housekeeper than you. DITTO! Isn’t it great?)😊🎉
My husband retired just 3 years early and I couldn't wait. I love having him home also. Great video.
Welcome home Kevin! Hope we see Kevin in more coming videos!
Yay! I hope he comes on more too! He seems to enjoy it enough . . . or at least does so willingly. ha!
Ha! My family is from NY(now in TN), and i have always stayed home with just my husband's income. He works his booty off to provide for our family, buy it has always worked.
Such great information, Cami and Kevin. Another thing that supporters can do is to "like", "comment" and hit the "share" button as the algorithms reward the content creators for that engagement. Your varied content is fabulous and love the detail-oriented reviews of fabulous products. 💗
Oh Julie! You are so right! We appreciate all of the above so much. I sure love having you here!
Good team!!
A beautiful family, a beautiful home and now a beautiful life...you guys have your priorities straight. Like you say, not everyone can do this but you guys are a true inspiration for all of us out there.
Thank you Felix! I hope we can make it work! We still stress about things but I feel so good about it, we just keep moving forward.
So great you have an opportunity to be together and make an income.
Congratulations! God Bless you both and your family!
Thank you Mary! I sure appreciate the well wishes!
Y'all do what is good for you, and your family. Remember, you decided to take this route because you both were stressed, and worked away from one another/family for long hours. So ride/rely on the parachute because you've jumped. You both are paying attention to your finances. When you find money is tight, make the move to find away to make more money. Until then, live your life exactly the way you dreamed.
Thank you for sharing your story and lifestyle. So excited for you all. Looking forward to what is ahead for you all.
Thank you so much Beverly!
Amazing!!! So happy for you! What a blessing for your family! You've worked really really hard for this!
Thank you so much Heather! How kind of you to say.
You two are so sweet. All the best.
Thank you Anne! Appreciate you watching!
This is tremendous news. I'm so happy for your family. Well done.
Thank you Sally! Your comment was so kind!
That is awesome and a dream of mine as well, not sure about my husband though…lol…I am actually the primary breadwinner and would love to be the “keeper of the home”.
I'm a handyman by trade as well though without a degree haha. We really are wizards being able to fix everything.
Dont think I'll ever retire as I grew up watching my old man being a hero that worked 7 to 11 everday but sunday for his family - still somehow beeing around for family time with each moment being a grand event when hes home. A tradition I would like to give to my kids in some shape. We're a family of passionate workaholics haha.
Gah now getting side tracked. I wish you guys well and hope you much success! To Mr. Tidbit ya done made it finding a wife more valuable than jewels, and I hope you have no lack in gain trusting in eachother.
Same here in our home - as my dad calls it, who is 77 and still working two consulting jobs and is engineering in many ways - by training and brain doesn't turn off. Neither does mine. I'm a nurse, but have figured things out that he hasn't! Between both of our creativity and work ethic, we never tire. Dad never missed a beat in coming to any of his tasks, and helped mom too. A good man. The house, yard, homework, indoor and outdoor, sports, etc..and never a complaint. Today's person just can't handle what our parents generation did. I also think, as stressful and overwhelming is healthcare or any traditional job, I'd never want to do "creative content" work at getting ads, support, amazon this and sponsor that. Glad others do, but it's not for me, despite having many trades and practitioner skills between nursing, NFP, preventing and curing covaids/colvid, post-shot help, etc.....pretty "valuable" but ...HATE BIG TEK.....I think we were better off with out all this!! I do not do FB, IG, ABC, DEF, etc. Happily. Keeps me humble :)
@@Jennifer-gr7hn Haha right on to having awesome Pop's! Cool reading your story.
I do worry about the future of the blue collar field. Folks aren't the same kind of humans as back then. Haha guess that just means we best raise our next generation of kids well.
Thanks so much Kami to you and your husband for sharing all of this valuable information. It's been very helpful to me as I'm praying about starting a channel and new blog. So happy for you all that you'll have more family time together. Kids grow up way too quickly and you'll never regret pouring all of that time into those precious little ones. May God continue to bless you all 💗
You are most welcome! I hope you will get the answers you need to move ahead. It's hard work, but very rewarding. They do grow so quickly, don't they! I feel like once we moved past the baby stage, I can't hold on to them long enough!
Congratulations! That’s a major accomplishment at your age. My husband is 66, has had his own business for many years and is finally willing to retire. I’m excited about it!
Thank you Cynthia! It's been years of hard work in the making, and I hope we can make it work! I bet he is ready to be done! Owning your own business is exhausting! That what we now need to decide is how much do we do to make money and how crazy will it make us.
Hello! Thank you for all you two share so dilligently. I am a homeschooling Momma in Texas and was wondering if you could share any of the sources you know of that would be a financial support for homeschool? Thank you and keep this all coming!!
Thank you for your kind comment! Check out my homeschool story bubble on my IG account. I shared in great detail the program we use here in Utah. Texas will likely have something different, but hopefully with my suggestions there you can find out what. All my best! You are doing such amazing work!
I love decorating, but I love a white Friday as well for my channel.✨ I do need to start a blog, I just don’t know where to start.🙃 Congrats on retiring.👏🏻
I’ll have to check out the info Lisa has.☺️
Yes, you need to check out Lisa's stuff! It is really good!
wow, if you changed your title to something like how I make money on youtube and brought my husband home or How I made enough money online that my husband quit his job... I'm sure this would have more views. I seriously was not expecting the deets on starting to be a content creator. I am also this but just started this year and still have no views on my blog lol but this encourages me.
Congratulations you two! I miss seeing you in the neighborhood but am super happy for your move and subsequent success ❤️
Thank you! It was fun to hear from you!
👍 God Blessing
Can you let me know what kind of insurance you use?
We are self paid without insurance for 15 years!
You bet. We are on Select Health and have a health savings account. I'm glad to hear it has worked out for you too!
I don't have Instagram but I homeschool in Utah. Can you share briefly what programs you use to help homeschool costs?
Yes! Look into My Tech High or Harmony. They are online charter schools, with very low expectations of us, but help us get the funding. I use My Tech High. Let me know if you have more questions!
Retiring at 40 is stupid. What are you going to do with the rest of your life. Hard work builds strong character.
Does that just mean you are a one-income family or are you talking about something different?
When my wife retired I had two choices to keep my sanity.
A). Get a job
B). Get a divorce
Haha! I hope you got a job. Thanks for the giggle!
@@TIDBITSandCompany BTW…it was on your advise that I got a Blanco 36” farm sink for our kitchen remodel. Even though I dropped nearly $1000 for it, I love it and it adds so much to the finished kitchen. So, a big thanks!
I could never respect my man if he just sat at home while I brought in all the money
