Hi David - I enjoyed reading this post. I especially enjoyed your comment about "stumbling" with (some) sense of direction; "surprises" that showed up even to one who had coached many clients through the move out of working; "the first 12 months" and making no long-term commitments; and the need to find a new "meaning and purpose." You reminded me a ton of what Bo Burlingham wrote in his book Finish Big: people find purpose in who they serve through work; people therefore can lose purpose when they lose their working relationship with those they serve. I now look forward to learning about the new people you serve - under the title "how American things about money." I look forward to future episodes!

Thanks, Mike. It is refreshing to be able to think about what I want to think about without worrying about business concerns. Very nice to be able to just write to help my readers, whoever they may be, figure out how to use their wealth to build a better life. And to seperate from our culture’s confusing and often inaccurate beliefs around money. Lots of fun.
