These two were not concerned with retirement. Not then at least. If there’s no time like the present I guess, some three decades later, we might want to think about it. A little. Probably.

Like most people we know our “retirement plan” was very much a casual thing. We’ve been putting money into work-sponsored 401ks because it’s a thing you do. We knew social security will be a part of it but didn’t know how much (or how little). In essence we had a retirement HOPE and not a retirement PLAN.

As we dug into the details Tina suggested we capture our findings to a Facebook page and, now, this blog. We don’t pretend to know what we’re doing so take this all with the biggest grain of salt you can muster. Still, we hope our discoveries can give you something from which to start your own journey.July 24, 2021
