Thank you for the article. I’m suffering now with a phobia disorder and getting help. It’s been extremely difficult since February.
You provided some good advice.
Don’t agree with dividends. As an owner of a business (that’s what you are as a shareholder) you share in the profits of those companies and the growth of the dividends….coke,Pepsi,proctor and gamble.
income and rising income has always been the key to long term success
I’m struggling with finding purpose. I retired at 59 and it’s been over a year. I have severe anxiety and depression, but recently have been applying to several part time jobs. Hopefully this will help.
thanks for the article
Excellent story. What’s interesting is that there is still the relationship going on between product partners and advisors. These product partners still wine and dine and take folks to ballgames. How can this not be a the appearance of a conflict of interest?
i have a gold plan and my premiums for me and my wife are a little over $500 per month. If we didn’t have the advanced premium credit it would be $1700! When I retired at 59, I made sure I was able to keep my income well below $70k
Thank you for this article. I have been struggling mightily since I retired last January. My anxiety has gotten the best of me, and now going to therapy. I am excited that I took a seasonal job with the Pittsburgh Pirates that starts in April and goes thru to October.
I feel this will help. You are so right! The part of retirement you fail to make sure you are set, is what purpose and routine can I generate for myself every day and feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction
Excellent as always. One of the latest fads of course is “responsible investing” or as you know ESG. Creating wealth and doing good.
I’m curious how others feel about “sustainability “ investing and ESG?
You make some excellent points.
I’m struggling with any type of Advisory fee. Sure they can do Social security analysis and run Monte Carlo simulations…etc.
Those astute on tax implications and other planning strategies are probably worthy of 50 basis points for AUM. I agree about discretionary accounts.
some add value with their stock picking skills. A non discretionary account where you can do stocks,individual bonds,ETF’ s and have input for 50 basis points may be the better way to go…I don’t know. For now I do my own

It depends who you are investing for… maybe a deceased spouse with limited knowledge could be well served by an RIA who is a Fiduciary
