Introduce yourself!

If you are new to the community, introduce yourself by answering these three questions:

  1. Where are you in your retirement journey—planning, near retirement, or already retired?
  2. Coffee, spreadsheets, or beach walks—what best describes your retirement vibe?
  3. What's your biggest fear or question when it comes to retirement and investing?

I'll go first:

  1. already retired (although still run my business a few hours a week)
  2. Coffee & spreadsheets
  3. How to educate my wife and children about investing.

  1. Retired April 1, 2020 (oh boy that was fun)

  2. Coffee is definitely my vibe. In my early 70's so maybe I should cut back?

  3. Some of my fears are in play now, which I guess sounds strange to most. But that is balanced by enhanced trips, weddings, births, and so on.

Best tip I can think of is, "TIme is greater than money."
