How did I get to where I am today?

Writing a newsletter about the joys—and personal financial ins and outs—of Never Retiring.

I hope chronicling the key events on the journey to embracing the reality that I’d Never Retire helps inform wherever you are and are headed with money and in life.

In today’s part three, we consider one of the biggest changes I made—with work—to set the stage for where I have ended up.

If you didn’t see them, catch up with—

Part one: The money problems I had when I moved from home at age 19.

Part two: The most pivotal decision I made on the road to Never Retiring.

One sentence nicely summarizes part two:

I decided to freelance before freelancing was the thing it is today.

Now, we consider the practical, personal, and psychological links between going freelance and embracing my version of a Never Retire lifestyle.
