I'm a 'mostly' retired software engineer, and in true engineer form, i'm going to provide a small bullet list of info about me.
* I'm level 55 this year - a new personal best!
* From Seattle - no, it does not rain ALL the time. There are a couple months during the summer when its nice.
* I've been investing since I was in my early 20s, I had no idea what i was doing.
* I've been dividend investing for the past 10 years - Still not an expert by any measure.
* I'm actually currently more focused on dividend income than dividend growth - the realities of early retirement to span the 'gap'
Since this is an investment community - my investment goals are:
* Be able to live off of dividends while still growing enough to meet or beat inflation. I imagine that is pretty much everyone's goals though eh?
Why am I here?
* Its a much smaller forum than the crazy big reddit subs.
* I write software - Its a curse actually. I, of course, have my own set of software tools - like I imagine most of you do. I want to learn how to make mine better by finding pearls of wisdom. I'm not a data or math wonk. No offense to those who are! (envy), I just don't have the temperament - thus my need for software tools to do it for me. Maybe there are other folks here with similar interest?
Its Friday of a 3-day weekend here, i'm off to the back porch for a beer - take it easy!
