Newbie in Central FL

[Paul McVey]

Looking for advice... I am a newbie looking into potentially getting started/involved with REI which has fascinated me over the years, just never took the plunge. I have been in corporate america for ~ 40 years and looking at my next chapter - retirement in about 5-9 yrs. Is REI a good vehicle to help fund retirement this late in life? Might require pulling funds from 401K to finance thus reducing those funds earning power. Currently, given an average market, my 401K should produce a little more than I am currently earning today. Thanks
