And yet I had to share them, so here we are. And in addition to … [Read more...]

How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free, Part 1
The latest retirement book I've read is How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free: Retirement Wisdom That You Won't Get from Your Financial Advisor. The author is a free spirit to say the least, similar to Vicki Robin who wrote Your Money or Your Life, which makes the book a fun and entertaining read. I'm probably the opposite of a free spirit (is there such a thing as an … [Read more...]

How to Invest for Retirement with Limited Assets and Avoid Sequence of Returns Risk
In Our Meeting with Two Financial Planners there was an epic comment that I just couldn't let go to waste. I know that many people don't read the comments (I don't know why as there's often very valuable information in the comments but I know many don't read them because I often get questions emailed to me that have been answered in the comments). Off track a bit: if you … [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.
