I think bookstores will always exist. Some stubborn people like me refuse to buy copies of digital books. There’s just no replacing the feeling of having a copy of a real book.
Good stuff. I retired at 58, 3 years ago. Little earlier than I thought I would. Did pretty much what you suggest. One thing I will add that I wished someone had told me about earlier is maxing out a Health Savings Account. Max that puppy out every year and invest inside of it. 100% tax free withdrawals for medical expenses. When I need @Glitch hips, I can pay for it!I'll never retire. . . not by choice,
If I could? . . the next post you'd see from me would be sent from somewhere far, far away.
- A door-to-door salesman stopped by my girlfriend's house when I was 19. I was the only one there, so he convinced me to buy a roth IRA from him (Modern Woodsmen of America). I only had $75 to start it with, but I've maxxed it out every year since then (except for about 4yrs around when I died and came back to life and the years after).
The max amount has gone up over the years. When I first started I could only put $2k/yr in it, then $4k. Now I can put $7k/yr in it, but have only done about $4-$6k since I was revived. I need to look at how much is in it now. I may be able to retire in about 10/yrs.
If I had any advice to give anyone, especially under the age of 30 - get yourself a Roth IRA, tell no soul about it, not your wife, not your momma, no one. Max it out every year. Never, ever, ever take a penny out of it, no mateer how broke your are. Thank me in your mid-50s.
Liked for the sentiment, which is 100% spot on. Get in early, get in often, don’t take it out. (Go ahead…)I'll never retire. . . not by choice,
