• Yes I invested the money. I believe I would have received more if I had waited until 70 in guaranteed income.

• I started receiving Social Security at 64. It was a mistake. I should have waited to age 70. I did not need the money. I will be age 85 in October. So if you can wait until 70, it will be better to wait.

• I had three accounts until a year ago. I consolidated everything to Vanguard. Vanguard has the facility to add everything including real estate holding to the website. So now I can know my net worth by logging into the Vanguard account.

• I am twenty plus years older than Jonathan Clements. This was the saddest news I have heard. Ever since I read Jonathan's first column in Wall Street Journal twenty or thirty years ago I was hooked. I used to wait for Jonathan's personal finance column. It is indeed sad news. With immunotherapy and other advances in medical technology I hope and pray that Jonathan will find a way to cure cancer.

• Revocable living trusts are better options compared wills. Wills have to be probated. Many folks are afraid to go before a probate judge, so they hire attorneys to do the job and it may cost a lot more. If you are told you have only five months to live, trivial matters like cost will be the last thing in your mind! ,

• Thanks Michael for the interesting article. Having been born in India and migrating to the US in the sixties I cannot even imagine a nomadic life like the one that Michael describes. After coming to the US and getting a good education I have traveled many European countries and the far east as part of my working life. Now in my eighties I cannot even imagine a life like what Michael describes.

• This is one of the best articles I have read on humbledollar.com. Brenna Claire Moore proves the point that there are more important things in life than money.

• Sundar Mohan Rao is a friend. I enjoyed reading his article, especially his quote from Mike Tyson. His emphasis of the four ingredients - health, wealth, social network and purpose - to be happy in retirements is indeed useful.

• This is the finest article on bonds that I have read. The bond market can often be more confusing than the stock market. Thank you Adam.

• Another strategy is to set up a revocable living trust for wealth transfer and to make the trust the beneficiary of your Roth IRA. The revocable living trust will become irrevocable at the death of the grantor. That way your Roth IRA will not be part of your estate.
