You don't need a million dollars to retire. Let me show you how I did it.
WELCOME TO THE ORIGINAL MODERATE INCOME RETIREMENT CHANNEL!
Hi, my name is Duane. After a 20 year career in the music industry, I retired on my 59th birthday in late 2021 with just over $500K. Soon afterwards, the stock market (and my investment portfolio) tanked. I'll be posting monthly portfolio updates and videos that show the ups and downs of retirement life and how to OPTIMIZE a moderate income retirement.
Ideally, I'd like this space to evolve into a collaborative community helping each other through pre and post-retirement. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, please consider subscribing.
