Alright everyone! I think we're officially in May now (I'm still in a bit of a daze from the end of finals), so it's probably about time I feature a blog.
The first featured blog is the
Military Retirement and Financial Independence Blog, which is run by one of the forum's few financially independent members,
Nords. Nords surfs for a living in Hawaii, so he can fairly be said to be living the dream. When he's not out on the water, he writes blog posts two or three posts a week and has regular guest posters, and puts together the
Military Guide to FI and related projects, then donates all the proceeds to charity.
The blog is a tremendous read for you if you're in the military and thinking about FI, of course, and he's always willing to
dig deep into the reader mailbag to explore individual issues with military pensions and other retirement issues not seen in the civilian world. The blog's just as valuable if you're not interested in the military, though -- he discusses
monetizing blogs and books,
the FI lifestyle,
new personal finance books,
humorous stories, and more. He also delves into interesting topics like
the Long-Term Care Insurance industry and
dealing with a genetic disease in the family with incredible insight, personal anecdotes, and an ever-present sense of humor. All that is to say: if you don't follow Nords' blog, maybe you should!
To get in touch with Nords with any questions, send him a PM
here. If you'd like to nominate your blog for consideration, and haven't already, PM me
here. See you around the forums!
