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.

I am open to any and all suggestions, though! Old school or new school, bring it on. Thanks!
Get a laptop and sit in your recliner!

Or a tablet! I got my first iPad when I retired and now curl up with it everywhere.

Even better, a smart tv, WiFi, and a wireless keyboard.
And a recliner.

Magazines are so 20th Century... find special interest websites for what you want.

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 like the AARP magazine, though I know some on here are anti-AARP.

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'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?
