About the rebuild
Early Retirement Dude is a FIRE site again.
This is a place for candid writing about financial independence and useful ways to work through the numbers behind leaving a job early.
Editorial boundary
Specific beats broad.
ERD covers FIRE numbers, long drawdowns, sequence risk, Coast and Barista transitions, one-more-year anxiety, and identity after work. It does not try to become a generic 401(k) encyclopedia or an annuity-shopping destination.
