Hello everyone. Completely new REI here with absolutely zero experience. My wife and I are hoping to begin investing this year, and yes, we are both in the later stages of our income-creating timeframe, but sometimes that's the way it goes. I've been reading a lot of the blogs and forums here and have purchased a few books from the site. We are exciting for this new opportunity in our lives. Thanks for taking a moment to read this short intro and I'm looking forward to networking with like-minded folks.
