59dot5?  What's with the name?  59dot5, or 59 1/2, is the age a person who wants to retire early can access his/her IRA and 401K retirement funds without penalty.  I just made it to that milestone, but I haven't retired quite yet (more on that here).  My goal with this site is to get over that hurdle and, along the way, help others who share the goal of retiring early.

My focus here is mostly on financial (and a few related) subjects important to an early retiree:


  • Investing for income in retirement
  • Healthcare coverage before Medicare eligibility
  • Battling excess frugality
  • Mental challenges of an early retirement

Are you interested in dividend investing for income during retirement?  I am. Remaining partially invested in equities (stocks) is essential to keeping pace with inflation throughout your retirement years.  Check out this customizable tool to estimate dividends from one of the country's largest dividend-producing ETFs: Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD).

A caveat: 59dot5 is a personal project I've turned into a resource for others who may find the information useful. The content on this site should not be considered professional financial advice.  It is not.  I am not a certified or professional financial advisor or planner. Also, this site and its contents are in no way endorsed by or affiliated with any of the organizations mentioned on this site: Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., The Vanguard Group, Inc., Fidelity Investments, or any of their subsidiaries.
