Do you even retire? In truth, I don’t consider myself an early retiree for a number of reasons. However, I have been observing how I spend my time during the last 4 years and I thought this topic might relate to those who are either taking some time off by choice or if you’re on […]
Social Media Marketing I’ve always said that I wish my Twitter stats could be my blog page view stats. Well, unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. If you’re reading this, you’re probably curious about figuring out “what works and what doesn’t”. I might actually make this a regular feature of my blog to […]
You’ve heard it all before I left FT employment in January 2016 and have been in-between several things and various projects. One of the main things I’ve struggled with is figuring out “what’s next?”. I don’t think that’s such a big surprise for most people, because people warn about this pitfall in any type of […]

Did you know that roughly 79 percent of Americans are behind or feel that they are behind in their retirement savings? This is an appalling number considering the cost of living and healthcare costs are on the rise in America. More and more aging adults are not looking for actual retirement, rather partial retirement. And […]
It’s a slam dunk A long time ago I used to idolize NBA superstar Doctor J, in many ways I still do. I consider him a gentleman that handled his success with style and grace. My memory of him is starting to transition from legendary to mythical. Some of the things he did with a […]
Why is change so hard? I had a conversation with my wife the other day about buying fresh berries. In fact, it’s the same conversation we’ve been having for a while now. She controls a good chunk of the grocery budget and she is usually reluctant to spend extra money on healthier foods. This has […]
