Well thanks for the invite JD.

I'll do a little intro about myself. I'm one of those crazy people that brave 8 months of winter a year in a cold place called Regina, SK in Canada. With all that time to read books on winter nights I've developed a plan to reduce that old dream of freedom 55 to freedom 45. So I want to retire very early.

My blog, Canadian Dream: Free at 45, is a record of that journey and a place where I discuss retirement issues and how to be happy now and in retirement.

I look forward to reading/writing on this forum.

Thanks,
CD
