In the world of very early retirement, we tend to ignore one of the most important things for normal retirees: the Social Security program. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great thing for the 73 million people who currently draw benefits, and it provides an essential safety net for many who don’t have much income from anywhere else. But for those of us leaving the workplace in our 30 and 40s, Social Security is just a fuzzy concept in the very distant future.

As a man of Science, I’m supposed to hide my enthusiasm about this somewhat controversial subject, and instead direct you only to the peer-reviewed studies. But man, I feel like I’ve stumbled upon the fountain of youth here. And the more I dig into the details and the hype and controversy surrounding the field of Hormone Replacement therapy, the more I need to share the word about it to my fellow middle-aged people (both men and women).

It all started last winter when I innocently posted a review for a heated vest I had bought on Amazon. I was happy with this fun new way to beat the winter and wanted to share it with others, so I gave it five stars.
