With the new IRS Sepp rules in 2022, it makes it easier to access more funds to help bridge the gap to traditional retirement age.
Merry COVID Christmas.
This year for Christmas, Megan gave me a tennis racket and COVID. Our theory is she picked it up while trying out some new gyms before the holidays. Once she brought it home, it was inevitable that I would get it despite trying to quarantine from each other in 724 sq feet of space. Despite […]
Lingering Work Dread
After years of suffering with an extreme case of work dread every other week, apparently it takes time to heal.

My friend Ken was also working overnights at the time and he sent me a link to Mr. Money Mustache’s “The Shockingly Simple Math Behind Early Retirement” and I immediately scoffed at the idea of such high […]
Why I’m not a gymnast.
This is one of my favorite photos from my younger years. It is a great action shot highlighting my early success on the uneven bars. If I didn’t know any better, I’d suspect that moments later I would suffer a devastating neck or spinal injury. I’m sure they used high quality padding to cover the […]
