I don’t know about you, but I have been on an emotional roller coaster since all the “credit crunch” stuff and the financial crisis. I can’t sleep, and I can’t concentrate at work. I made the mistake of looking at my portfolio last weekend - bad idea. And the roller coaster […]
When my husband retired a few months ago he said he was disheartened by the way his company treated him and other older employees. He said it seemed as if the company was trying to get rid of him so they could hire younger, cheaper employees. But he said that they didn’t know anything, and […]

In the home where I grew up, in the kitchen by the phone, my mother placed this old German saying: “Ve Get Too Soon Oldt Und Too Late Schmart.” After seeing it every day, I must have embedded it into my consciousness, and I think of it often.
