Hello, new here

Truth is, I've been lurking for a few weeks but I finally decided to get in now. I'm 38 and started getting serious about early retirement planning about two years ago. Right now I'm focused on building up dividend paying investments and trying to figure out realistic timelines. My goal is to retire by 55, maybe earlier if things go well, but I'm still working through the numbers and what that actually looks like.

@Bishop welcome to the forum! Sounds like you’ve got a good plan going with dividends. What’s been the trickiest part for you so far. Was it picking the right stocks or just figuring out the timeline?
