Links for the week
Some links to read this week sourced from Kiplinger.
Remember, these links are written by financial advisors who ultimately are always trying to sell something (including their services). Read and enjoy but always with a grain of salt and willingness to educate yourself some more before diving in.
The Biggest Risk Retirees Face Right Now
This one was very interesting to me but also made me think that we can do the best possible and still have an unhappy ending. Nice huh?! So much to think about regarding investing but all you can do is keep reading/learning and keep putting money into investments.
What Everybody Needs to Know About Investment Fees
Oil Prices Buffeted by Global Supply Concerns
Good to keep abreast of economic information/forecasts even if they are never 100% accurate
Do You See a Market Cliff Approaching?
*I disagree with the initial tone of this article. Yes the market goes up and down but it does so usually for a reason (especially when there is a precipitous drop). The most recent drop is because of fears of a trade war - fears which are warranted. While there is some good info in this article (like don't react impulsively!) this is exactly the type that I say read with a large grain of salt. Understand why the market is moving for significant changes and also let that inform your decisions.
Happy Reading!

It's been awhile...
Hello Y'all!
*Pru waves*
I'm still here but need to give a bit of an update. Firstly, work etc has been very hectic (lot going on there) and I have been organizing my financial affairs a bit to do my taxes. Thankfully those have been submitted and now I just need to pay what I owe. Taxes are always a stressful time for me so I'm glad that for the most part I'm done for the year. Next year will be an entirely different story as I will owe a lot given the new tax bill that was passed in 2017.
March has also to date been a stressful and expensive month. Sadly, we all experience times like this when there is nothing we can do but keep paying out cash. Yup, one of those months.
Most importantly, as affects my plan here on this blog, I may not have a job in a few months. So.....yeah...there's that. Lots of thinking has been going on in the Pru household.
As this impacts the blog, until I know for sure where I stand in terms of employment, I am not sending any money to Vanguard. I will continue to fund my savings accounts because if I need to touch that money, I will. I am also just paying the minimum to my mortgage. (It's all about conserving cash as much as possible.)
Yup - that's where I am. Hoping to get back to posting weekly again even if it's just links to read.
