At this stage in life, who among us isn't swamped with papers to keep track of? And not just ours but our parents as well. Insurance policies (life, long term care, auto, home), medical files (who see what doctor, their meds) financial documents (checking, savings, CDs, safe deposit boxes, investments), legal (wills, living trust). Staying on top of records is time-consuming and important.

As Congress takes up health care reform,the debate is eing shaped by countless voices--often strident,sometimes-scaremongering--about the risks of overhauling the system. Former U.S.vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin says the proposed reform will lead to the creation of "death panels," with bureaucrats deciding who gets care. Before he died, Sen. Edward Kennedy said quality care shouldn't depend on a person's financial resources.
In this article Forbes takes a look at the private-vs.-public debate with stories, a slide show and columns from across the spectrum of people in the know. |

I found this beautifully written essay simple and powerful. Psychotherapist Mel Schwartz describes insights as initiators of change - but only if we pay homage to them. As forerunners of our growth, he says, they need our attention. If we don't commit to our fragile new insights, we simply aren't taking ourselves seriously enough.

Learn from Stephen Leeb through his book called "Game Over" about how to take a more global approach to your financial portfolio. He argues that the American economy will take years to recover from inflation, the weakening dollar, and most importantly, runaway national debt. You'll also learn about the shortages to come in oil and water. Stephen recommends that investors create inflation-proof portfolios. Investing in gold through exchange-traded funds or individual gold companies is a smart thing to do. Your money in a checking and savings account will not earn enough interest, but actually decline in value due to inflation. Also, the best investments are outside the U.S., particularly in China and India.

Over the years and with economies collapsing, there's been a cry by politicians (from all sides) and the general public to end the Federal Reserve System (also called the Fed). If you'd like a wake-up call on what the protest is all about, then listen to an interview with G. Edward Griffin, author of "The Creature from Jekyll Island" who will reveal how the Fed has manipulated America's economy to be in wars, determine our boom-bust cycles, "financially murder" the middle class, and other evils.

Learn from James P. O'Shaughnessy about your financial investments. if you think you can protect your money by focusing on "safe" large-cap stocks and mutual funds, you're in for a big disappointment. In the new cycle now under way, the stock of small and midsize companies will consistently outperform the large-cap growth stocks of the S&P 500. Large company value stocks and intermediate bonds will also do better than expected.

It's no secret that plenty of the 76 million Baby Boomers are tossing and turning every night, trying to calm down and get to sleep. Why?

Many people have asked me why I take such an interest in Boomer 411. I believe that the average Baby Boomer has not saved enough money for their retirement. As I recently state in a posting, The Retirement Drum Beat Gets Louder, the average retirement savings for Baby Boomer’s is less than $50,000. This means that there are many Baby Boomer’s that need help. This fact will affect not only the Boomer’s, but it will have a significant impact on the children of the Boomer’s and the US economy as a whole.

Get ready for the aging of America. It has been widely noted that the United States is on the verge of an unprecedented demographic transformation. The shift will be driven by two forces: the aging of the hugh baby boom generation and the lengthening of average life spans. Baby boomers are the nearly 80 million individuals born between 1946 and 1964.

Yet academic research shows that retirees who want to play it safe can afford to withdraw only 4 percent to 5 percent of their nest eggs each year in retirement--if they want them to last for 30 years or more. Even a person with $250,000 could afford to tap only $10,000 or so annually.
