Thank you to our nearly 2000 subscribers who seem to be engaging more, both on social media and by simply emailing us. I appreciate your feedback and your questions… keep ‘em coming. This question came from a subscriber in California. This is largely an area of opinion. Lots of things I write about have been …
Today, I want to lay down a marker. THIS IS WHEN YOU BUY! The great companies of the US and the World are on sale. That sale may (or may not) get better. If it does get better, it won’t get that much better. There will be some point in the not-too-distant future where we …
You’ve heard me say it over and over… and over and over… and over and over again. Creating a retirement income that rises to match your rising cost of living and lasts the rest of your life, while at the same time creating a legacy that potentially lasts across generations, is possible – even for …
Thanks Clint. That was a great conversation on so many levels.
