Retire There with Gil & Gene
12/22/24 • 59 min
Marsha Scarbrough worked in Hollywood for 20 years as an Assistant Director on major feature films and prime-time television shows. In 2006, she retired and moved to Sante Fe, New Mexico, a place she thought would be her “forever home.” In Sante Fe, she used her small nest egg to purchase two houses as investments. Unfortunately the Great Recession of 2007-2009 rendered her real estate near worthless. By 2010, she was bankrupt, in foreclosure, and owed money to a friend. Marsha believed she could not live comfortably in the U.S. but might be able to do it overseas. She desired a large European city but didn’t think it was affordable. A visit to a friend in Madrid, Spain changed her mind. She soon learned that life on a budget in Madrid was possible. In 2017, at the age of 70, Marsha left Santa Fe for Madrid and hasn’t looked back. Learn more about Marsha’s journey to the large cosmopolitan city of Madrid, Spain on Episode 199 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.
Learn more about Marsha on her website, MarshaScarbrough.com. Marsha’s two award winning memoirs are Medicine Dance: One Woman's Healing Journey into the World of Native American Sweatlodges, Drumming Meditations and Dance Fasts and Honey in the River: Shadow, Sex and West African Spirituality.

Wayne and Laurie Murphy began retirement on the road. They sold their Orlando home along with most of their belongings, and purchased an Airstream trailer!

When Covid-19 threw them a curve, they pivoted and found alternative enjoyment. After RVing for over a year, most would settle down for a while, not the Murphys. They purchased property in Blue Ridge, Georgia and will soon begin building their dream log cabin home. Blue Ridge is an artsy town with beautiful surroundings in northern Georgia.
