I read the news on my computer almost every day. I skim over the usual headlines but get deep into the weeds on articles having to do with financial matters, in particular, the personal financial management issues dealing with retirement planning and retirees.
There is a lot of doom and gloom out there in regards to those two topics.

My situation, and the reason I moved to Mexico, was slightly different. I had retired from the government after a thirty-year career but five years after retiring, I got divorced and lost almost one-half of my retirement assets in the process.
As it turned out, losing that money was not the end of the world. In fact, it turned out to be the impetus for the next stage in my life! I had always lived a fairly simple life, but for me the question was this: How could I manage my finances so I could afford to stay retired?
