Ruin your retirement in just 9 movesI loved the subject line of the email I received from Bank CD and Investing News - "9 Dumbest Moves To Ruin Retirement" These are the headings of the 9 'dumb moves' found in that article: I have a feeling most of us 'baby boomers' relate to some, if not most of them. Discuss your plan with your significant other to make sure you are both on the same page. Good luck Alex Weiss

Retire Early? Fugetaboutit!If you were planning to rely on social security to help fund your early retirement (age 62), perhaps you should make other plans. The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College has released a new Issue in Brief: "Promoting Work: Implications of Raising Social Security's Early Retirement Age"
Retiring at 62 may soon be a thing of the past - as if it's not already. Check out the full report at http://clicks.581z.com/v/?u=b33cb9e91571e6c859599334b84ca154&g=417&c=711&p=0f9fe2a8a5ea9d2087ae3b42afa57aa2&t=1 Good luck to us all. Alex Weiss, co-founder
Mortgage Market Woes: A time for Risk AND Attitude Adjustments I clipped the following from the NY Times as I felt it gives us a pretty good indication of what to expect in the months and even years ahead. Could this 'subprime' melt down make the S&L crisis look like a 'cake walk'? Is there any relationship here between the 'junk bond' years and 'subprime' years? Regardless, I was pleased with the announced proactivity from the administration and FHA. Is it possible for public and private organizations to collaborate on processes and products that might help to alleviate capital market fears? I would suggest that consumers find ways to communicate and 'exploit' their individual economic-carrying-capacity as an effective strategy in negotiating work-out terms with lenders. This might require increased transparency and a willingness to be more accountable to a lender to avoid what historically would be a foreclosure. With today's technology there are ways to achieve better data for both borrowers and lenders to make better financial decisions through the next several years. Thank You FHA/HUD and the administration for 'stepping up'. As a People now, let's do our part.
