Timeless Articles from the Archives #39

It's been over four years since I started My Wealth Builder. As I think about topics to write , I often remember, "I've written about that before," and decide to find a new topic. However, since many principles of personal finance are timeless, I want to include them in a recent post on My Wealth Builder. Therefore, I have started a series called "Timeless Articles from the Archives" which highlights posts from the same week in 2007-2010.


2007 

Retirement Planning By Age   - Retirement planning and saving does different by age group and also depends how much has been done at earlier ages.

The New Work-Life Balance - Think Choices  - To me, the term work-life balance is an oxymoron, a non sequitur, and a misnomer.

Real Estate Decline? - Reduce One's Property Tax  - A silver lining, although a small one.

Retirement Planning - Focus On SPENDABLE Net Worth  - If I can't spend it, it's not worth much :-)

Lessons From My Daughter - Have Fun  -  I like learning from kids.


2008

Properly Assessing Risk    -  A common error is that estimates of the future are often grounded in the present.

Avoiding Annual Membership Overload   - We're down to zero annual memberships.


2009

On Surviving Early Retirement during the Financial Crisis   - We survived, although I did do some part time work to reduce our withdrawal rate.


2010

None


To me, the content of these posts are still relevant today and worth reading again.
