Calling All HD Writers

I wanted to follow up on R Quinn’s forum post about HD writers and encourage everyone to submit your own articles for posting.

Many people mentioned that they’re unsure what to write about, so here are a few ideas to get you started:

> What I wish I knew about money before turning X

> How my relationship with money changed after X happened

> The emotional side of retiring, and learning to spend the money I saved

> Downsizing

> Outliving your savings (and how I dealt with it)

> The hardest part about going from earning a paycheck to living off investments

> Helping my adult kids financially (and where to draw the line)

> Having inheritance conversations with my kids or grandkids

> Teaching my grandchildren or children about money, lessons I wish I’d learned sooner

> Finding purpose after retirement (because it’s not just about the money)

> The best and worst financial decisions I made in my X decade

> What surprised me most about healthcare costs

> Why I hired a financial planner (and what I wish I’d done differently)

> How inflation changed my retirement plan

While Jonathan can’t provide his amazing feedback anymore, HD can still host your learnings and continue teaching the next generation of readers. That’s what he would want us to do.

Logistics:

> Shorter posts (under 1,000 words) can be shared right here on the forum.

> Longer, in-depth pieces can be turned into articles and featured in the newsletter.

Write what you know. Your experiences, and the lessons behind them, matter more than perfect writing. If you’re not ready yet, that’s okay. Take the time you need, HD isn’t going anywhere.

Thank you,

Bogdan
