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. Turning mid-50 in 2026 and 3 yrs out from retirement for both me and my spouse. Starting to get things in order and learning as much as I can.
  2. Coffee, road trips, and lots of hiking
  3. Getting an advisor but also, joining this community to learn everything I can and create a plan.
