Weekly Link Round-Up For August 13, 2010

Posted on August 13, 2010 by Eva Sadej

It’s Friday the 13th!!!!!

My personal favorite article this week is “What Is Retirement?” by Get Rich Slowly. It introduces the concept of “semi-retirement” which is a more likely future for many (and a common state that many retirees find themselves in today.) Defining what you would like your retirement to look like is one of the first steps in planning it.
