What’s your number?

Mine is $2,000 a month. It’s all I’ll need to make if I successfully enter phase three of my Never Retire strategy.


Today, we piece together the core concrete elements of my Never Retire strategy to illustrate how it’s possible to live—and live well—on a relatively small amount of money into and beyond relative old age.

To detail the core concrete elements, we'll look at my personal expenses and how I intend to deal with them as my partner and I head into relative old age and lay the groundwork for our future together.

We'll start by identifying the core concrete elements. Then we'll begin to attach actual numbers, strategies, and hard plans to them.

We’ll expand on this start in future installments.

An ongoing personal financial conversation on Never Retire philosophy meets strategy.
