About
Tips from a DIY retiree to help you manage your DIY retirement: I discuss lessons learned in past 8+ years after my unexpected early retirement. There are steps people could take earlier in their career to make their retirement plans more resilient. And there are steps you can take if forced to take an early retirement to ensure a sound retirement. I've had to learn about Social Security, Medicare, I-Bonds, and DIY investing to avoid unnecessary fees.
I am not a financial professional, so look at my content as entertaining ideas from one educated consumer to another. Always do your own due diligence and seek professional counsel before you make any changes to your financial plans.
