As I wrote to you yesterday, big government is coming after you. Today, law abiding Rhode Islanders who own a gun with a magazine that can hold more than ten rounds are felons. Wait a second. What just happened? Last June, RI’s General Assembly passed a law banning all magazines holding more than ten rounds. […]

“Do We Have Anything to Watch Tonight?”
Your Survival Guy and Girl are watching The Last of Us, streaming on HBO Max, an apocalyptic thriller drama based on a popular video game I never played. Then, one of its lead actors, Pedro Pascal (from Mandalorian and Game of Thrones), hosted Saturday Night Live the other weekend, and that caught my attention. How […]
What a Difference a Year Makes
Folks, It’s Just Showbiz Well maybe you feel differently if you were one of the recipients of the FTX scam. But as Kara Kennedy reminds readers in Spectator, last year’s Super Bowl football fans dubbed it the Crypto Bowl after eToro, Coinbase, Crypto.com, and FTX all paid for airtime. Fast forward 12 months to yesterday’s […]
Hands Down – Boston’s Best Hotel
Debbie and I have spent over a decade visiting the small group of a dozen or so Paris Palace hotels, each of which is a magnificent, distinctive fortress of special importance. The very best of this unforgettable group of travel treasures continues, to us, to be Le Bristol Hotel in the 8th arrondissement. We look […]
Your Retirement Life: The Sound of Silence
With all this saving and investing, let’s not forget about living. Because once you have water, food, shelter, and a riverboat cruise through Europe, what’s the point? You want to get out there and see what you see. Go for a drive. Hit the trail. A couple of weeks ago, Becky and I were driving […]
How Long Have You Been in the Investment Business?
“How long have you been in the investment business?” he asked. “Most of my adult life,” I said. “Did you know when you were my age (18) what you wanted to do?” “Not really. I went to business school at Babson College, worked at Fidelity Investments, and I’ve been here for 25 years.” “That’s cool,” […]
Yes, Your Children Are Listening to You
Dear reader, You may not realize this, but your kids/grandkids are listening to you. How does Your Survival Guy know? Because they tell me. More on that in a minute. Yesterday, for example, I spoke with a daughter and son-in-law of yours and, later in the day, a grandson. The first conversation was focused on […]
You Aren’t Getting These Yields from Your Bank Account
Look at these yields and see how far we’ve come over the past ten years, let alone twelve months. While banks pay you peanuts on your checking and savings, you can sink your teeth into treasuries (and investment-grade corporates). Remember, earning 4-5% on your lazy cash turns you into a compounding machine rather than an […]
What Your Survival Guy Invested in Today
You Survival Guy made a not-so-insignificant six-figure investment this morning in a mix of stocks and bonds. It’s a balanced approach, with roughly one-third stocks and two-thirds bonds yielding close to four percent. This is the type of mix I like for my retired clients, and for me, at age 50, it’s time to have […]
Your Retirement Life: Adventure Awaits
