Retire Hoppy
Seniors
Our podcast presents original content on financial independence, personal finance, retirement (traditional and early) and the non-financial side of retirement. Oh yeah, and craft beer too. I create content that is experience based. I don't want to tell you what you should do. I simply share what I did, what my wife did, and what our guests did. I'm motivated by a belief that we learn by sharing each others' stories, experiences and perspectives.
