What’s with the stupid blog name? Tackeeeeee!
I love Pokemon and Monster Rancher. They wouldn’t let me name my blog after them. Better than “Pokemoney” (which is probably taken).
Who are you?
I’m just a guy in his 40’s. I work in the software industry. Never got much ‘success’ as a career though. Just another blue-collar tech worker.
Why did you start this blog?
I’ve realized over the past few months that I’ve more or less reached my F.I.R.E. (financially independent, retire early) number and have actually exceeded it a while ago, but I’m still living like I normally do – working, saving, investing. This journal will help me explore my own thoughts on the matter and help me figure out what to do next. It would also be fun to engage with readers (if any) and share their stories.
Are you rich?
I don’t consider myself rich. I certainly don’t live like it. One look at my car and you’d feel sad for me.
Are you retired?
No, I still work full-time. My wife also works full-time. We both kind of hate our jobs. We’ve talked about retiring many times. Not sure why we’re not retired yet.
Why should I spend a minute of my time reading your blog?
You could just go surf porn, or watch another depressing news clip on Youtube. I’d like to think you’re reading because either you are in a similar place in your life, curious about how I got to where I am, or you know me personally and somebody told you I started a blog. (Hi!)
Can you answer more questions?
Sure. Send em to me and I’ll answer them via the blog somehow. Thanks.
