Been in hiatus since my last blog in April. My full attention was upon my coming of age.
Not into young adulthood at age 21, but rather into that once hallowed age of 55 when a nice pension awaits followed closely by a life of leisure. That was the past.
Today, the popular press in cahoots with the financial services industry tell us that you will need a million bucks to retire decently or be prepared to work to age 65 to attain that magic nest egg.
The pursuit of this popular mantra has led many to speculate rather than invest prudently, and leverage to maximize returns.
Should not one start with simplifying one's life? More about needs and less about wants.
What is considered a comfortable retirement income need no longer be at the stratosphere, but can be closer to the ground.
