Always appreciate hearing from folks who have actually retired earlier and sharing their real experiences to guide others close to the same destination, but haven’t pull the trigger, on what to prepare and watch out for. Hope there will be more such interviews. Priceless learnings.
Keeping Up with the Joneses was an American gag-a-day comic strip by Pop Momand that ran from March 31, 1913, to April 16, 1938.[1] It depicts the McGinis family, Aloysius, Clarice, their daughter Julie, and their housekeeper Bella Donna, who struggle to "keep up" with the lifestyle of their neighbors, the unseen Joneses. The comic coined the well-known catchphrase "keeping up with the Joneses",[2] referring to people's tendency to judge their own social standing according to that of their neighbors.
