Journal Club 1-21-22

Here's Journal Club 1/21/22! Every week, I hold a JOURNAL CLUB. After filtering through the articles on the web, I present a few that impacted my life this week. Be safe and stay well!

• It's not uncommon for your net worth to start declining after you've retired and are living on your savings. But, how about seeing exponential growth in your net worth post-retirement? That's somewhat rare, would you agree? Well, the Physician on Fire shares one such exciting story of the FI Heroes and how they accomplished this goal in the article – Their Finances After 2 Full Years of FIRE: Up More Than $1 Million. Check it out!

• Is your work causing you to feel like you're drowning in this never-ending stress, fatigue, anxiety, or is it leaving you feeling burned out? Then it might be time to consider Downshifting – a concept that empowered the author of The Fioneers to create a life they truly loved. You can read their full story here – Downshifting to a Low-Stress Job: One Strategy to Help You Recover From Burnout.

• Learning that “businesses with low overhead have a better chance of survival” in an economics class was the moment when the author of Doc to Disco decided to pursue her desire of owning a laundromat! The author hearts the laundromat and has wanted to own one since her high-school days. Curious to know whether the author got one? You can find out right here – Peace, Love And Laundry.

• Almost everyone is familiar with retirement investment accounts like 401k and IRA contributions, but did you know there's another savings account that could be used for retirement? The author of Financial Samurai shares all about it in the article – Using A Health Savings Account As A Retirement Vehicle.

That's all for this week! I hope this week's journal club was helpful.
