I’ve been a student of finance and investing for my entire adult life. This is what I do for fun on Saturday nights. But I may have focused too much on retirement age as a financial goal. Early on, I could have focused more attention on finding a career from which I did not want...
In accordance with article 31 of the UNJSPF Regulations, a withdrawal settlement shall be payable to a participant of the Pension Fund whose age on separation is less than the normal retirement age, or if the participant is the normal retirement age or more on separation but is not entitled...
Hey Steven, that looks pretty good to me. Personally, I would probably focus less on paying off the mortgages and would instead invest more in the stock market but I understand the appeal of being completely debt free so if that will make you sleep better at night, by all means go that...

At first, we weren’t sure we could write a book geared toward 8-12 year olds since we don’t have children, but I’m really glad we decided to take it on. This book was a lot more challenging than our first one, because we wanted it not only to be educational, but also interes...
