Simple, and in my opinion, the true answer " no money in it" Everything we read is from financial advisers who tell you how to retire. Not How to live your life. That would not pay much for them.
My best advice follow your heart, decide what it is you want, google things like why retire
You will figure it out. Do what you want, not what the conventional herd wisdom tells you to do, and god forbid the retirement/ financial industry. Cuze they are in it for them, not you
Yep, I agree. Most financial guys are in it for them. One must be diligent and make sure they do the right thing for you. For years I and some of my friends were told we needed $2,000,000 in the bank to comfortably retire. That is SO NOT TRUE. They just want you to give them that much money so they can make money off of you. As I've gotten older I've learned it's all about cash flow, not the overall amount. That realization has allowed me to back down and begin to enjoy the time my wife and I have left. As the old saying goes - no one on their death bed says I wish I had spent more time at the office....
