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. The original post is located here: https://www.caniretireyet.com/why-most-retirement-calculators-dont-work/Please Rate & Review the Show!Visit Me Online at OLDPodcast.com & in The O.L.D.
