Yet Another New Guy

Just doing the obligatory new guy post. I'm not in the industry, but have always wanted to be, ever since I was a kiddo. I'm in my mid-thirties, and currently work for "the man". I've got 15 years in, and eligible to retire at 47 with a modest pension. (It becomes quite nice if I leave it in there for a while, which I'll likely do). My goal is to work for another 5 years, which will give me a solid 20 at the same place. Then retire without drawing, (letting it sit and grow), and finally get into the industry where I can finish out my next 20 years. Ultimately, I'd retire at 60, having 20 in both industries, and live a modest but respectable retirement.

Welp, that about sums it up. I've been browsing for ages, and since Im getting down to just a handle of years before I potentially make the leap I figured it was time to sign up, haha. Look forward to continuing to learn from all the experienced guys and gals about how things have changes, and continue to.
