Welcome to Midlife Financial Crisis

Somewhere around forty, I started asking the questions you're not supposed to ask out loud: Is this it? This blog is about pursuing financial planning while working a full-time job, and everything I'm learning along the way.

I write about the money decisions that matter in midlife — retirement math, investing mistakes, career pivots, and the gap between conventional wisdom and what actually works when you're starting a second act. If you've ever stared at a spreadsheet and wondered whether the numbers add up to a different life, you're in the right place.
