The Sunday Best is a collection of articles I’ve curated from the furthest reaches of the internet for your reading pleasure.
Every week, I scan hundreds of headlines, read dozens of posts, and bring you the best of the best to save you time and mental energy.
Financial Independence (FI) is a primary focus, but it’s an awfully broad topic. I tend to approach FI and early retirement from a fatFIRE perspective and through the lens of a physician, so expect to see those biases in the selected articles.
Related topics that have become recurrent themes include early retirement, selective frugality, tax issues, travel, physician issues, and of course, investing.
For more great articles, take a peek at The Sunday Best Archives. Now let’s get to the best… The Sunday Best!

Yop, one of those ‘how to retire’ people whilst they could not. Only matters when they disclose their mistakes, and what NOT to do whilst approaching retirement.
I don’t have an account at The Humble Dollar (link to “Eyeing the Future” article above), so I will ask here…
The author is in his 70s, so presumably he is receiving Social Security, which triggers Medicare enrollment. He mentions contributing to his HSA, but that would not be allowed (no contributions after Medicare begins) by law, even though he is enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan.
Am I missing a work-around?
Thanks!!
Jonathan celebrated his 60th birthday earlier this year.
He’s not yet eligible for Medicare and still working and contributing to an HSA.
Cheers!
