Fritz Gilbert is like many average individuals who work in a corporation for a great part of their lives, until one day they retire.

In Fritz Gilbert's case, he worked for an aluminum company, in corporate America, for about 33 years.

Writing has always been a passion for Fritz Gilbert, and about 3 years before his retirement, he started a blog called The Retirement Manifesto, where he started documenting his preparation towards retirement. Now he has been retired for 2 years and it seems that his blog is only getting started.
