@JLCollinsNH Those birds sure are persistent if they followed you from MI to CO, JL?

Maybe they are covert spy drones for a group of fund managers that charge exorbitant percentages of AUM every year to their clients…

@TheFioneers I've done Kerry Ann Rockquemore's process from The Best Chapter for the past 2 years and it's amazing...

@retirein1500 @EvenStevenMoney @Mrs1500 @APurpleLifeBlog @Jovermyer1 Funny, Carl!

Oooooh. Look what came in the mail from @JillianJohnsrud - a Fire The Haters thank-you box!
How cool and classy is that?
Thanks, Jillian! You're the best!

[ProfessorFIRE Blog @ProfFIREBlog]

@JillianJohnsrud It's a great book, Jillian!

Feel only the good feelings...!

[ProfessorFIRE Blog @ProfFIREBlog]

@JillianJohnsrud Just down to Adam and Cheesy Taco to cause chaos!

@bradchoosefi You have helped so many others find the simplicity that lives on the other side of complexity, Brad!

Thanks!

@FilledWithMoney How about this approach:
- Include the 401k @ 4% SWR in the "long term" FIRE number
- define a "bridge" number that gets you from current age to 59 1/2 (or whatever age you plan to access 401k funds)
- calculate FIRE date based on proportional funding of both 401k and the bridge.

@JillianJohnsrud I’m sure it will go great, Jillian! I had mine out laparoscopically 10 years ago - fast recovery and instant relief!

@Katie20Percent Electrical and computer engineering - went “all the way” to a Ph.D.
Changed how I saw the world.
Ended up being one of my best personal investments in many ways.

@MegNordmann Sending positive thoughts from up here in Canada that you're feeling better soon, Meg - and that it's not 'Rona!

Even if you are a FI veteran - I recommend that you sign up for the email series...
...what can be better than having MMM whisper in your email inbox every Monday morning for the next 8.75 months?

I have finally unleased the "MMM Boot Camp" email series (a selection of 35 of the best articles since 2011, in order, in the form of an automated Monday morning email). Scary but I finally did it!

@MoneySavvyMind Nice - used that strategy once in a while before I went all-index investing.

Works well, except if there’s a short-term movement in the stock price and you end up getting assigned (so annoying!)

[ProfessorFIRE Blog @ProfFIREBlog]

@MoneySavvyMind Writing covered calls?

@MegNordmann @PlutusAwards @sense_w_cents @SevTalksMoney @MoneySense_Kyle @pfauthor @wealthparatodos @stephonee Yes - but I think I may be more interesting as a profile pic than in 10-60 seconds of video...
...just kidding - it was fun to connect!
