So Why Did I Start This Website?

The question you are probably asking is, “Why did this guy, 52 years old, start this web site?”. When I told my wife about starting this website, that was her question. So I know you are probably asking it too. There are a couple of reasons and they are simple.

There A Couple of Reasons

Reason #1 – There are a lot of people who are going to need some help in their retirement planning. These people probably do not have a pension and as such, they are making choices about their retirement in a 401k or a IRA, in a vacuum. It can be scary, since most of the people your age at work, are in the same boat and do not know any more than you do.

What are annuities? What are variable annuities? What are Target-Date Funds? Stocks? Bonds? Mutual Funds? ETFs? ELKS? CDs? You can see that these are just a few of the choices that are available for your money. How do people figure it all out?

Reason #2 – I really like this subject and feel I can help you and others retire early and do well financially, in retirement.

You Need A Battle Road Map

That is what I will try to do for you. I will try to provide a battle road map. A battle road map is a little different from a regular road map. The battle road map will show you where the potholes are, where the mines are, the IEDs (improvised explosive device) are located, and other detours or roadblocks that are standing in your way to a good retirement.

Disclaimer

I am not a stock broker. I do not have nor do I hold a securities sales license of any kind. I do not have an insurance license or any license to sell any financial products. I am not a registered investment advisor. I am not a CLU, CFP, ChFC or have any initials after my name. I am not a lawyer or a CPA and you are advised to seek professional help from these people regarding any advice you see printed on this or any other web page about retirement.

So What Do I Get?

What do I get out of doing this?

• The first thing I get is personal satisfaction. Like I said above in Reason #2, I really like the subject and feel I am good at it. It was tough being retired in the first couple of months, but having this blog allows me to contact fellow retirees or people who want to be a retiree sooner rather than later. It allows me to help you.
• There may be products, books or courses that I may write about or recommend from time to time and I will make a commission that will be paid by the seller on these products.
• I may host a teleseminar and charge a nominal fee for putting it on and hosting it.

My Membership Site

You might want to join my membership site where I discuss specific techniques and products. I charge a small monthly fee for this membership site and you are free to join and leave without any long term committment. I take a part of that fee as my compensation.

I might make enough money from the sale of these products to pay for my website hosting, the programmer who does the technical stuff, and the time I put in to help you out.

For Taking Early Retirement (TER), I hope you are enjoying a great retirement or are close to that day!
