I'm looking for first-person pitches on a few topics for Business Insider —

- Great advice from a parent/grandparent/older relative you followed or plan to follow (their best tip for early retirement, their secret to retiring abroad...)

My father-in-law retired at 55 and is now 86. His successful early retirement taught me 4 lessons I plan to follow. 

My 88-year-old grandma lives the most fulfilled life of anyone I know. Her 'secret to success' is wildly simple.

- Lifestyle x retirement — especially early — how it changed your perspective, wardrobe, hobbies, travels, etc (can also be about how a loved one's retirement impacted your own life or plans)

- An unconventional living situation you sustained for a dream job (ex: living apart from spouse, RV near office)

- Unconventional living situations, in general (moving in with in-laws, building a tiny home on dad's property, buying a house with friends)

- A big move that didn't work quite how you expected 

My family moved from a big US city to a small town in Southern Italy 11 years ago. Living here looked better on paper.

We loved living in Barcelona, but we left after a year. The language barrier made it impossible for us to thrive there.

We moved from Los Angeles to rural Oregon to save money. It's been great, but small-town life has its downsides.

- Home renovation regrets or unconventional choices that paid off

- Changing your appearance for a job/to fit in at work

- Moving for love or a job (did it work out or not?)

Rates for these start at about $240 for 600 words. I will be in touch if we're interested in moving forward.
