Apparently, more than half […]
What Does Inflation Mean to You?
Do you remember the 70s? I do. I remember that I could ride my bike to the pharmacy and get a candy bar for $0.25. My mom would tell me she could get five for a quarter when she was a kid. I’d think, “How can that be possible?” Nowadays, it’s not even close. But […]
“Will We Have Enough to Live On Forever?”

When Is the Best Time for You to Do This?
“Life’s short,” my grandfather would say. “You’re only here for a visit.” He didn’t say it to me. I was too young when he passed away. He said it to my dad, who just turned 79. My grandfather would also ask my dad when he was starting out in business, “Do you know when the […]
You’ve Answered Life’s Questions. But What about Investing in Bonds?
Do you remember purchasing your first home? Meeting with the bank? Going over interest rates and how much goes to just paying it? Reviewing the payment schedule and realizing how old you’ll be when it’s paid off? Talk about a bond between you and the bank. But when it comes to bonds and investing, I […]
Are You with Someone Who’s Been Cookin’ for Decades?
You may be surprised, dear reader, but Your Survival Guy doesn’t spend much time thinking about how much “I” can make in the markets. I spend my time thinking about how to hide. How to protect my assets. Because I know a swooping black swan is looking to take them. And yet, time and time […]
