The Wealth Builder Carnival #134

Welcome to the one hundred thirty-fourth edition of The Wealth Builder Carnival. The purpose of this carnival is to collect articles from the blogosphere on building, preserving and keeping enough wealth for a comfortable retirement. For reference, I have tried to keep the carnival content tightly focused on wealth building and did not include submissions that were off topic. For reading convenience, the posts are listed with a brief summary or comment by the submitter and organized into seven categories: Earning, Insuring and Protecting, Investing, Living Frugally, Retiring, Saving and Taxes.

And now on to the Carnival.

Here is a detailed explanation of dozens of types of life insurance policies, from term to whole to universal coverage."

Investing

Dividends4Life presents 5 Stocks Raising The Dividend Growth Bar posted at Dividend Growth Stocks, saying, "A stock with a high yield doesn’t mean much if the dividend is cut or eliminated, and the stock price declines significantly. Sometimes it is desirable to accept higher risk for a higher yield. Other times we may be accepting higher risk and are not being adequately compensated for the additional risk. One measure of dividend sustainability is..."

John Schmoll presents Finding Strength in Our Lack of Investment Control posted at Frugal Rules, saying, "Investing in the stock market can be rife with emotion as stocks go up and down.

Living Frugally
