I do want you to know what my shortcomings are, how we’re probably different in all sorts of ways, and what other resources might be out there for you.
In 2002, I was awarded a Doctor of Medicine degree. I haven’t used that degree since 2019, and now I’m some kind of Money Dude, but that’s not the name of any kind of actual degree.
I thought that I wanted to retire. At least, I thought that I did. By the time came to hang up the stethoscope, I had built this website and related online activities into something that demanded a good amount of time and attention.
The psychology of entering into full-on retirement and making regular withdrawals is assuredly more challenging than the math and mechanics of enacting a drawdown strategy. That may very well be why I haven’t done so yet.
