There is the question of whether a tree that falls in the woods makes a noise because no one is there to hear it. 

In much the same manner, the sun will continue to rise over the marsh in Pecan Island, but I won’t be there to see it.

TIPS can be a great vehicle for creating a safe retirement income, and one of the best ways to utilize TIPS is to create a TIPS ladder. 

TIPS yields are not directly related to the stock market. TIPS are an effective shield against sequence- of-returns risk. TIPS protect against inflation and can mitigate poor sequence-of-returns risk and inflationary pressure.

"Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again." —Eleanor Roosevelt 

How long you’ve been on planet Earth is important! But is it the only way to determine age, and is it the most important determinant of age? 

I’m not sure chronological age is the most important age determinant, but I know researchers have identified three separate and distinct ages that qualify and quantify each person’s life.

Last weekend I attended a finance conference. Was I there with a herd of people, or a Tribe?

If money is not a major consideration, then the “Why” of what someone does in retirement becomes much more important. 

I want to answer the question of “Why” because the answers will hopefully provide listeners with a basis for consideration.

When choosing a short-term cash vehicle (money you’ll likely need within the next few months to a few years), the goal is usually to preserve principal while earning a reasonable return. 

The importance of each factor depends on whether the money is for an emergency fund, a planned purchase, or simply money waiting to be invested.

If a person thinks of themselves as a castle, their ego is the wide moat surrounding the castle. A moat was designed to protect and defend the castle against attacks. Having an “inflated ego” is not good, but even a “healthy ego” can become the moat around a person, preventing “change” from entering.
