Summary

Darrow Kirkpatrick of Can I Retire Yet shares if you should work one more year. Episode 1227: Should You Work One More Year? by Darrow Kirkpatrick of Can I Retire Yet on The Retirement Decision 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.

0:04.0	Should you work one more year by Darrow Kirkpatrick of Can I Retire Yet.
0:09.0	And I'm your host and narrator of the show. My name is Dan. Welcome to another Sunday edition of
0:13.8	optimal finance daily, where I read to you from some of the best personal finance
0:17.9	blogs on the planet. And I'm going to keep this intro nice and short for you here on
0:21.8	the weekend, so let's get right to our
0:23.5	post as we start optimizing your life.
0:27.7	Should you work one more year by Daro Kirkpatrick of Can I Retire Yet.com
0:35.0	I'm quote-unquote retired but I took this past summer off anyway.
0:41.0	I wrote less on the blog. I postponed some personal projects and I worked on my bucket list doing
0:46.8	the things I couldn't do while working full time while raising a son while living back
0:50.9	east. This was the first summer since my 20s that I could spend
0:55.0	entirely in the big mountains of the west. If I was to have any regrets when this year
0:59.7	was over, it wouldn't be because I hadn't been outdoors hiking, biking, and climbing enough.
1:05.0	The season began on a frosty night in May, camped beside an alpine lake in the Songre de Cristo Mountains,
1:11.0	and it ended in early October, gliding through neon gold aspens in crested
1:15.4	Butte.
1:16.4	In between, I spent a dozen nights out on the trail, summited several 12,000 foot peaks, led
1:21.9	a bunch of rock climbs, and logged miles of epic riding on my mountain bike.
1:26.0	None of this means much by worldly standards, but it meant a lot to me.
1:30.0	Doing these things enriched my life and left me with fewer regrets should it all end tomorrow.
