So many of us in our 50’s, 60’s and beyond find ourselves with meager savings, debt, and few opportunities for a secure retirement. We want to get our financial houses in order, ever at this late date. Yet we don’t want to sacrifice for years to reach FI. Too late for that! We’re committed to living meaningful, interesting, full, and fun lives – now. Is it possible?

Together, we can do this!

Hi there! I’m Michelle and I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. As you may have guessed from the site name, I’m a boomer. I was born at the very end of the baby boom. I am married with two daughters – one in college and one in high school. I have worked in the financial services industry for 30 years and I’m passionate about all aspects of physical, mental and financial wellness. I firmly believe that if everyone makes just a few small changes, we can have a positive impact on the planet. The goal for my blog is to share positive thoughts and simple ideas you can use right away to make a difference.

We are Todd and Wendy Christensen (aka 50+ and 50-), an average couple on an extraordinary journey from mediocre finances to Financial Independence to Retire Early (FI/RE). As a couple, we don’t want to retire on Social Security and a limited IRA. We have committed to eliminating ALL our debt by our late 50s and early 60s while building passive income streams that will permit us to pursue a meaningful life outside the 8-5 workday.

Anthony has married his passions, investing and education. While teaching social studies full-time, he founded a registered investment advisory firm, where he constructed financial plans and oversaw $50 million in client assets. As a CFP, he has a vast knowledge of personal finance strategies; and, as an educator, he has a natural ability to explain complicated economic and financial concepts, put them into an historical context, and make the practical application of these concepts come to life. Prior to starting his teaching career, he worked in the financial industry, trading foreign currencies. He brings to Ritholtz Wealth Management an expertise of the inner workings of the 403b market. His goal is to build awareness of the conflicted advice and poor options in these plans, and ultimately bring about much-needed reform. His blog, A Teachable Moment, helps educate investors on how to protect their interests.

This site is focused on the personal finance needs of anyone who is thinking about retirement or early retirement. Anyone who is interested in financial independence and financial freedom will find value here.

I’m Lucy and this blog is all about my journey of digging out of debt in my 50s. My husband and I have done stupid with zeros for far too long and finally said we have had enough. Time to get serious, pay off our debt and build wealth for our future. A dime at a Time represents a beginning to an end…the end of our struggle with debt. While we may be starting later than most, we know we can do it….A Dime at a Time!

Hello and thanks for checking out my blog! First off, I go by the moniker "Cubert". Early Retirement, powered by Financial Independence, also known as “FIRE” — that’s the real premise of this blog. My career in technology has had its ups and downs, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve had a nagging itch to take on passion projects. Effectively, I just wanna be my own boss.
