Once again, you've written a terrific article. Thank you. Hearing they/them being blamed for all sorts of maladies is one of my pet peeves. Life ends up being so much easier if you simply take responsibility for your own decisions and life.
Adam, Thanks for another great article! This one really sparked my interest; using Chesterton's Fence followed by a decision framework provided an effective framework. Looking forward to your next one!Bob
Ed, you wrote a terrific article. Congratulations on your retirement. Being content with simple, yet fulfilling, days has been one of the most rewarding parts of my retirement, which started nearly two years ago. May you have many more perfect days ahead. Bob
Jonathan - great question; Richard - another great article. Many bemoan conservatism, but in Richard's case, it's provided a wide margin of safety. Regarding not buying those employer shares, you bought them, with your time - the most valuable resource of all! Keep up the great work guys.
Terrific article, thanks. When I was a young professional, a colleague once said, "why would I waste my life trying to extend it?" I used that comment for years to justify not exercising, but now realize that thinking is flawed. Just as important as extending lifespan, exercise (combined with a proper diet) delivers improved health, helping people to live full, enjoyable lives. Now retired in my fifties, my goal is to live a long, active, and healthy life for decades to come. Attia's book provides a helpful roadmap.
Great article, Dick. In addition to the suggestions you outline for implementing this plan, I'd add that it may be appropriate for the investor to adjust their asset allocation (reduce fixed-income holdings while perhaps increasing risk-asset/equity exposure). That's because the annuities are effectively a never-ending bond ladder.

Perhaps we will have self-driving cars within the next 20-30 years that could solve this issue for many seniors.
