Hi! It’s now early 2021, I’m 58 years old, and recently retired to the sunny Okanagan, BC, Canada. I’ve been married to the most amazing and supportive gal ever for 30+ years, and have 3 inspiring, caring, beautiful, adult daughters that take after their momma. I am not a financial advisor, nor have I had any formal training in the area. I am self-taught, and find the learning never ends once you take the reins. After some early wins and losses in the stock market that taught me some lessons, I adopted a “keep-it-simple investing approach”, a casually minimalistic approach to life, and it has worked well for me leading into, and following, retirement.
