I joined an #InspiredMoney panel with three expat nomad travelers to talk about our tactics for slow travel. Travel (and surfing) while you still can.

@TheMilitaryGuid Thank you for what you continue to do for the military community. It has provided guys like me with a sensible roadmap to FI. One thing I haven’t heard you speak on is post FIRE and drawn down of accumulated assets. Have you addressed this anywhere?
I joined Meghan Combs on the EverydayFI podcast to talk about the #FinancialIndependence lifestyle, living in Hawaii, the U.S. military, and housing prices. We had a lot to discuss!

Eight years of just showing up, @RetireManifesto !
Besides, I still don’t have to act my age… let alone grow up.
Read our book excerpt about your teen’s expectations for their education fund:

Perfect for families and high schoolers.
Read the rest of the book from your local public library, but if you decide to buy it then please use the blog post’s affiliate link!
If you’re FI and you’re going to spend money this season, then learn more about life after #FinancialIndependence:

This Black Friday special has a ROI, and it’s my favorite forum for over four years. No haters, no trolls, no spammers or scammers.
Rumor control: FedSmith claims that in-service Roth conversions are on the roadmap for the federal Thrift Savings Plan.
I so want to believe that this will be rolled out for #military as well, but the TSP has yet to put up their own post:

I talked withScott Carson of WeCloseNotes about life *after* #FinancialIndependence.

You don’t have to gut it out to 20 on #military active duty. Once your assets = 25x net annual expenses, you’re FI for at least 30 years.

Every once in a while a podcaster checks in with me to verify that this #FinancialIndependence stuff is sustainable.
(Spoiler: very much yes.)

Oh, and you don’t have to gut it out to 20 on active duty.

I’m at the FinCon Authors booth, or the podcast table, or the video booths.
And yes I’m one of the 34…
I enjoyed CFP Daniel Kopp’s talk with Drew Stamp about the #military transition:

My callout at 28:25: “the guy who surfs, from Hawaii, long hair,...”

I’m enjoying a new podcast: Tracer Burnout.

It’s oral history from #military #vets while they’re still with us, from the 21st century back to the Cold War. I wish I’d heard this before I signed up, and before I left active duty.

Last reminder: please join us Tue 2-3 PM ET for MOAA’s webinar on #FinancialIndependence.

CFP Daniel Kopp (a MFAA advisor!) interviews NMAA’s AFC Heather Walrath on her #milfam retirement. She’s briefed thousands of people on their VA benefits & #military SBP-- but this time, it’s personal.

As a male #military spouse, I was a member of several fine Wives Clubs in the 1980s-90s. It’s getting better... slowly. Here’s two articles on what else could change:
