Hey Everybody!
We have some exciting news for the direction of The Wealthy Thinker!
After listening to your feedback and reflecting on our own journey, starting this Monday we’re going to pivot and refocus our content on what matters most to us as the “forgotten few” of Gen X.
As we live it every day, we know our financial concerns are unique. We’re caught between aging parents, supporting adult children, planning for retirement that’s much closer than we’d like to admit, and it just seems there’s no good answers in a world that’s just out to squeeze us. We’ll be discussing real issues that we face, and provide a bit of direction on how best to navigate to protect and grow the wealth you’ve built.
As part of this pivot, we’re going to update our email frequency to just three times per week, this will allow us to go even deeper with our research, and provide you with something we hope will truly be special.
Thank you for all of your support, and we’re looking forward to exploring our new chapter with you!
