Inner Circle

Not sure exactly how long ago I wrote about changing my circle of friends and investing more time with those with thinking more aligned with where I’m going versus where I currently am but that still holds true.

Today I had a conversation with a good friend, he was my mentor during high school and it’s interesting how at different stages of life perspective changes. He’s downloaded a mobile app to countdown his days to retirement. He currently has 1,536 days left until he’s retired. That’s a GREAT idea!

I’ve met and spoke to and visited with tons of people in retirement and some speak of boredom. Some take jobs just to have something to do during the days. I’m quite certain I will not have to find another job to find something to fill my days once money is no longer an object but that’s me through this lens and not the lens of having accomplished the task of accumulation.

Today, Wednesday, June 26, 2019, I am grateful that:

Members of my inner circle are further along than the path than myself. I get the benefit of their experience.

I learned about a countdown app for retirement. There’s no “official” retirement age in America. Once you have an income stream to support yourself - you can retire. So that’s the current task at hand. Guarantee a lifetime income stream.

I have the insight to see lessons as they are taught. That conversation was very subtle but the lesson profound.

Who’s In Your Inner Circle. Be Impactful!
