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.

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/constant-retirement-withdrawals-realistic-or-not/Please Rate & Review the Show!Visit Me Online at OLDPodcast.com & in The O.L.D.
