Before You Sign Up

Is this financial advice?

These are real lessons and practical ideas from a Chief Engineer testing this stuff himself, not licensed financial advice. Treat it as insights from a peer, and always do your own research or speak to a professional before making big decisions.

How often will I hear from you?

A short welcome series to start, then one email a week, only when I have something worth saying.

Will my information be safe?

Yes. Your email is only used to send this newsletter. It’s never sold, and you can unsubscribe in one click at any time.

Who is this really for?

Seafarers at any stage, starting out, mid-career, or nearing retirement, but not only them. It’s for anyone working away from family and friends, at sea or on shore, in a demanding job that keeps them apart from the people they love, and who wants more freedom around family and money.
