The Wealth Builder Carnival #71

Welcome to the seventy-first 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. Unfortunately, Blog Carnival was having some technical difficulties in the past two weeks, which has limited the number of submissions.

Retiring

Darrow Kirkpatrick presents Understanding the Two Sides of the Retirement Equation posted at CanIRetireYet.com, saying, "The retirement equation governs the essential relationships, now and in the future, between all the variables that determine how long your money will last. Fortunes are made by calculating, prognosticating about, and manipulating this formula. And fortunes will be lost by those who get it wrong…But, despite all the words uttered and pixels consumed on behalf of this equation, it actually boils down to a simple relationship that anybody can understand."

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of The Wealth Builder Carnival using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.
