But first, let’s introduce today’s Never Retire checklist item—organize money and work around life, not the other way around.
I can’t wait to give these ideas, themes and strategies full treatments in March, when I write 20 posts in 31 days, meticulously detailing each of the 20 checklist items.

Post #8 in March details exactly what I mean by all of this and pulls together how to make it happen from checklist items #6 and #7.
