Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine and Kiplinger's Retirement Report newsletter are two subscriptions I continue to renew and find helpful - good content and thought fodder.
Thank you all for your suggestions and insight. It seems I should focus more on websites instead of magazines. Cal me old school. Hard to teach this old dog new tricks, but I do like to sit down with a magazine in a comfy chair, sometimes. I sit at a computer desk all day for my job....
I am open to any and all suggestions, though! Old school or new school, bring it on. Thanks!
I get AARP magazine. It is filled with articles aimed at 90 year olds like how not to get scammed by telemarketers. No-brainer stuff for retired IT guys. Theres a few good articles on health and fitness. Id say its a waste of trees.
I find that most magazines are focused on folks who are approaching retirement and largely ignore those who are already retired. Perhaps that is because writers get old and stop writing.
You could say that about financial advisers too.
That's why I like this forum so much. Lot's of actual retired people here with a wide variety of experiences. Better than any publication, online or printed.
I actually found this web site, both the forum and the data side, to be most useful in navigating the decisions I needed to make when moving into the post-career phase of my life. Of course, you'll have to sift through the FUD, but that is to be expected wherever you go for information.
I'm fairly new to this site and I don't remember seeing a "data side", just the forums. I'll have to poke around. And can I ask what FUD stands for?
