Welcome to my site.

After many years of accumulating possessions and investing with marginal success, I found myself out of a job and staring at retirement. Yes, I can jump back into the workforce, but I Think that I can make better use of my time by doing something that I enjoy and escape the 50 to 60 hour workweek making money for shareholders and top executives.  Yes, trickle-down economics does not work in the corporate world any better than it works in politics. I believe a measured approach to investing and a lifestyle based on minimalist principles is a better way to achieve the your goals of a fulfilling lifestyle.
