    Changes After Retirement

    It is interesting how things change after you have achieved some goals. Take for example my goal of early retirement.

This time, they have gone up by more than 35%! The unfortunate thing is that I have no idea why. But hopefully your investments are up and probably in the green zone. Of course neither indices (thankfully) have not reached their historic highs.
