Could you please include the complete text of your blog posts in the RSS feed? While doing so might decrease the number of direct hits on the blog site, it will definitely increase your readership. Also, it will help you take away the burden of making the first 2 sentences of every blog post captivating enough to make me leave my feed reader and visit your blog site.
Just a suggestion.

Yes, life goes on with all its twists and turns, but its like being in an ocean on the ship of your own making, if it's not seaworthy, you're gonna be going for a swim. The ship I like to build is a secure stable home life in a community of my own choosing. Its the basic start to any plan. You have to have a home base. A place that I look at when I search retirement communities is 55places.com. Check it out, its a great place to do some window shopping. http://www.55places.com

Many folks believe the "ball game" is over when they reach retirement age when its not. As noted increased longivity for many seniors could lead to decades spent in retirement. Sufficient time to build significant wealth during post-work years. How? by living a wee bit below actual retirement income. The key to prosperity is the same regardless of chonological age "live on less than actual income, regardless of source or size, Save and Invest the Difference Over time and Prosperity will Follow. Income is income and if you're not saving a portion of what is received, its not possible to advance. The bottom line ... its not what you get that matters, but what you keep that counts! It sounds simple yet easier said than done. However the reward for living slightly beneth means, regardless of source or size can be immense. There is great wisdom in the saying "it takes money to make money" which is why I authored an exciiting new book entitled Save and Grow Rich - Any Income - Any Age - How to Turn Small Change into Large Fortune.

Thanks for taking time to read my comments - may you live long and prosper!
