Quotes to ponder:

"To maximize your freedom, live modestly within your means. And that doesn’t mean doing without: Craft your own, personally-rewarding retirement lifestyle."

"A retirement model is a compass, not a map. It can tell you where you’re going, but not if and when you’ll arrive!"

"In reality, even the best retirement planning gives you only a hazy view into an uncertain landscape to be traversed over many years, not a detailed itinerary for your journey."
