As the old saying goes, “…the trouble is, you think you have time…”

A few years back I set out to grow my financial nest egg for early retirement. Not to stop working, but to spend more time on projects I find interesting and most importantly, to spend more time with my kids, family and friends. Some call it “FIRE” (Financial Independence, Retire Early), but I call it financial independence.

This blog doucuments my journey as I learn about retirement planning along the way. It started as a cheat sheet for me to use personally, but it has since grown to be a valuable resource for others on the same path.

After several years of research I’ve learned the most important lesson is time in the market. Start your nest egg now and invest in the market today - your future self will thank you.
