If you are like me you have spent some time looking for and at other blogs and websites in the FIRE community. They are not always easy to find and it can be a pain in the, well, you know where, to find all of the different ones and to decide which speak to you. Below are the sites I frequent. I’ll be adding to (and perhaps subtracting from) this list as time goes by.
Hi, Oldster, it’s good to see another 50-something writing about the FI transition. I’m glad your autopilot post was featured on Rockstar Finance.
I particularly enjoy seeing Bob Clyatt’s “Work Less, Live More” on your books list. Bob probably stopped marketing it after 2008 or so, and it really seemed to fade out after the Great Recession. I’ve always felt that his 4%/95% rule was lost in the fuss over safe withdrawal rates.
Hi Doug! Thanks for the comment. It is nice to meet a contemporary. It seems like most of this community is on the front edge of this great FI/RE experiment. It’s always nice to touch base with someone who has seen a bit of the road.
I was surprised (and grateful), to say the least, by that post’s inclusion on Rockstar Finance. I too am a Bob Clyatt fan. His safe withdrawal rate method (the 4/95) makes more sense to me than just about any other swr method I’ve seen, especially if you need your money to last 40-50 years. That’s a lot of time.
Again, thanks for stopping by and I hope to hear from you again.
