And then I retired in 2018.
And then I just kept on writing those articles and actually a couple of more books from that point on.
My most successful book probably would be Retirement Income for Life.
I actually published that in 2018, the year of retirement.
Yeah, I enjoyed that book immensely.
And then my least successful book was two years later.
The book I actually was kind of my coffin child, but the one I probably loved the most.
But no one actually read it.
And that was The Rule of 30.
That's right.
Mourneau-Chapelle, shortly after I retired, became Likeworks.
That was just simply a name change because they bought some small U.S.
business.
And after Likeworks, they became Telus Health.
Telus Health would have taken them over, I'm guessing, about four years ago or so.
This comes down to what's often called the rule of 70 or the 70% in retirement income target.
I don't even know quite where this came from.
I've tried to chase it down a few times, but generally the industry will tell you, you need to save enough so that you can generate retirement income equal to at least 70% of your final average income just before you retire.
So let's say if you retired to keep numbers simple up with a hundred thousand dollars in income,
then you ought to have total retirement income of at least $70,000.
