At 58 I'm in my second act. The book I began at 46 is fiction.

I will turn 65 in a month. Over the past four years I wrote a book and in January it will be on sale. It’s for those who skipped, forgot, or hated economics and want to learn more now. More information to come in my substack: Economics for the Rest of Us (https://nikkifinlay.substack.com/).

Looking forward to reading your book, Nikki. I definitely skipped, forgot, and hated economics. But now, wiser and older, realize how little I understand it! Thanks for writing that.

I finished one in my 40s.working on another. It's a different beast. I'm in my second act, and my dream is to finally make a living with my writing. It's not going well.

I hear you, Brian. Well done on finishing even one. You're in a small minority.

Making a living writing isn't easy, but what else have you gained from it?
