Here are some observations from Your Survival Guy’s Fourth of July weekend, when my family and I took our boat—the Tom Sawyer—to Mattapoisett to visit my parents, and on the way home got stuck in the fog (more on that shortly). Family trips are a little different now than they were a few years ago […]
The IRS is Coming after Your IRA with this Hidden Tax
More sausage is being made down in Washington D.C.—never a good thing especially when “revenue” and “IRA” are used in the same sentence. It’s called the SECURE Act, which laughably stands for Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement. It sailed through the House 417-3 and is expected to pass under unanimous consent by the […]

Rush’s “La Villa Strangiato”: It’s OK to Die Twice

Will You Outlive Your Money? FIRE! (Part IV)
In parts, I, II, and III you learned about those who have embraced the FIRE lifestyle—Financial Independence, Retire Early—and the ways it can help you in your own life. One of the things I think you and I will learn from this movement is if it’s truly feasible to live off a portfolio for 60-plus […]
“I wish that I could give you something… but I have nothing left” FIRE! (Part III)
