Day one or one day?
For years now, retirement has been on my mind. Well, that’s not true, being able to feed my kids, helping them have a good financial future, and THEN retirement has been on my mind.
I read blogs often. I cannot count how many blogs I read. I love the content. I read blogs of millionaires and FIRE blogs. All of them have this great advice on saving and cutting costs. I read about baby steps and the envelope system. I read read read. Because knowledge is power, goals are great, and money may not buy happiness, but it does relieve stress.
The problem is, as I read these blogs and see people have $117,000 toward retirement or they saved three million dollars by the time they were 32 I think I am past that. I am 37, and until recently I was in that group of people who would not be able to cover a four hundred dollar repair if one arose. So many articles say the majority is like me. So, what does the majority do? Because if I’m honest, reading that someone is close to retirement at my age just makes me feel like it’s a goal I can’t achieve. Where are the blogs that start from zero?
If you feel the same way, you’ve found the blog. Today is my day one. I can’t wait for one day any longer. Join me on my journey. I am sure there are a lot of you out there just like me.
