Part 13: Do You Live In The Best Neighborhood For You Today And Going Forward?
And a flashy spring sale on annual Never Retire newsletter subscriptions
I spent 2002 to 2008 in college as an Urban Studies major (2002 to 2006 at San Francisco State University) and a Planning, Policy & Design graduate student (2006 to 2008 at the University of California, Irvine).
I decided on this course of study after falling in love with cities around the time I visited Boston for the first time, then subsequently moved to San Francisco in 1999.
This is a time period I sometimes completely forget about—as if it took place in a previous life.
At the same time, the decision to go to college at an advanced age (27) and what/how I studied in college—unintentionally—seems to have foreshadowed what I do and the things we discuss in this newsletter today.
Either I’m rewriting history to tell a better story or one thing does lead to another in life even if you don’t see it happening in real time. Probably a mix of both.
In any event, we tie the things I did and learned between 2002 and 2008 to our discussion of living the semi-retired life, working less now so you can work less longer and Never Retiring in 2023.
But first…
A Flashy Spring Sale: For two days only (until March 23), you can snag an annual subscription to the Never Retire newsletter for 20% off for one year. So $40 instead of $50.
Next to the present day, the time I spent in college was probably the best time of my life.
And college wasn’t even the highlight.
In 2003, my daughter was born. Definitely the best—and most stressful—day.
Funny story around that—
