Under Four Hundred Days

I have been thinking of starting a blog for a while.  I just don't typically have much content I feel worthy of sharing.  My beautiful Bride and I are beginning a new phase in life and despite some small challenges facing us we are trying to get prepared for the next step.


We will be taking steps for what lies ahead.  My retirement looms ever closer despite my employer pushing it further away.  The intent is to pare off unneeded "things" and reduce to a simpler lifestyle.  The next year ahead should be quite interesting.  Reaching for a dream is the culmination of years of working for a comfortable retirement.  As radio personality and financial guy Dave Ramsey so eloquently puts it "you need to live like no one else today, so you can live like no one else tomorrow".  I found Dave's radio program years after I had figured it out on my own.  Burying oneself under a mountain of debt is a certain formula to never achieve any reasonable dream.  We have become so used to living minimally, when we retire we should do very well in that transition.
