2090: How I Rebalanced Through Perilous Times by Darrow Kirkpatrick Nov 06, 2022

Show notes

Darrow Kirkpatrick of Can I Retire Yet shares how he rebalanced through perilous times.

Episode 2090: How I Rebalanced Through Perilous Times by Darrow Kirkpatrick

Darrow Kirkpatrick is the founder of CanIRetireYet.com. He began serious investing in his mid-30s and retired at age 50. He's not a dot com millionaire and didn't become financially independent by flipping real estate or trading hot stocks. He did it the traditional way: hard work, frugality, prudent investing, and patience.

When it comes to personal finance, his top priorities are simplicity, reliability, and safety. Now his mission is to help others become financially independent as he did.

More recently, Chris Mamula has been managing the blog and he's a frequent writer on the site. Chris used principles of traditional retirement planning, combined with creative lifestyle design, to retire from a career as a physical therapist at age 41. After poor experiences with the financial industry early in his professional life, he educated himself on investing and tax planning. Now he draws on his experience to write about wealth building, DIY investing, financial planning, early retirement, and lifestyle design.

Jess and Corey started The Pioneers as a way to track their journey to financial independence. If there’s anything they have learned so far, it’s that Financial independence has many definitions. They choose to think of financial independence as:

The point at which their assets produce enough sustainable income to cover their living expenses.

This is not just about the money, but more importantly, about the freedom that comes with it.

The name “The Fioneers” comes from a combination of: Financial Independence (FI) + Pioneers.
