Today we're finishing up some thoughts from Passive Income, Aggressive Retirement by Rachel Richards, which I think should have been titled "How to Become Financially Independent by Creating Multiple Streams of Passive Income". Haha! If you missed parts one and two about this book, check out Passive Income, Aggressive Retirement and Five Categories of Passive Income and How … [Read more...]

Three Retirement Needs You Must Satisfy
I recently read the book The Joy of Not Working. It's sub-title is "A Book for the Retired, Unemployed and Overworked". It was less of a retirement book than a "work is bad and not working is good" book. As such, it wasn't my favorite and I don't think it adds a ton of value to the retirement books we've discussed so far. It was strange that the book was just "ok" to … [Read more...]
Passive Income, Aggressive Retirement
Every once in a while, I hit the jackpot. I've read a TON of money books -- far more than I've featured on this site -- and most are not worth much IMO.

This is probably because most authors write about retirement in theory. Fritz writes about it from practical … [Read more...]

For now let's review a few of the books I've read (and written about) in the past few months: You Can Retire Sooner Than You Think What Color Is Your Parachute for Retirement … [Read more...]
How to Have a Purposeful Retirement, Part 1
Many eons ago, I was a young business school graduate at my first "real" job. I was working for a company that was then (and is still) in the top 50 Fortune 500 companies. Needless to say, I was pretty green, a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed country boy from Iowa, now in the "big city" to make my dreams come true. Cue the theme song from the Mary Tyler Moore show! Up to … [Read more...]
