Great article!
Loved the photo.
It's always more fun when a writer uses a photo like this instead of a stock photo.
The money I make on Medium -- and the money I make working with Medium writers as a writing coach and book doctor -- funds my frequent trips to California to spend time with my grandkids.
I, like, you, began investing money in a basic index fund years ago.
Now, at 68, I have enough money to live on.
The money I make on Medium augments that, but, thankfully, I don't have to count on it to pay my bills.
