The Millionaires Club: July 2011
http://billbottomless.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 8, 2011. Rabbit and the Hat. The last post was added because, here in retirement at my grand old age, I have found numerous older people who are still firmly embedded in the impossibility of it all, regardless of evidence right in front of their eyes. I can speak, but apparently they do not hear a sound. Gosh, how did he do that? The Cult of Can. It's been a while, but the blog is still here and I suppose blog entries are, on occasion, required. I'll call this the Cult of Can, the opposing f...

The Millionaires Club: Loosen the grip
http://billbottomless.blogspot.com/2010/05/loosen-grip.html
Monday, May 10, 2010. In my retired world I am reminded, almost on a daily basis, of how important some of the habits I acquired over the last fifteen years of my working life were. Although, I suspect some of those latent habits had been there from my parents influences, one such thing was that in 1952, when they married, they did not sell the farm to do so.

The Millionaires Club: October 2009
http://billbottomless.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 23, 2009. Beware the fine print. I am amazes me that companies like the Brick offer to give their customers 40" Plasma TVs free with mattresses or furniture sets. The advert is running on national TV at the moment and there always seem to be BIG FONTS that announce the free deal and then a tiny asterix somewhere on the screen, at the end of the commercial there are very small fonts at the bottom of the screen visible for a microsecond or two.

The Millionaires Club: Purple Balloon Monkey
http://billbottomless.blogspot.com/2010/07/purple-balloon-monkey.html
Thursday, July 22, 2010. I have talked about this on previous blogs, I feel I must continue to talk about it. There are sharks out there, looking for you to give away your nest egg, often in return for something trivial, perhaps as trivial as a Purple Balloon Monkey. The pitch is attractive, “Isn’t it time you started to enjoy retirement your way? 8221; and "Why sit on thousands of dollars in unused equity when you can buy stuff? Or something along those lines. I would encourage anyone considering this m...

The Millionaires Club: September 2009
http://billbottomless.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 1, 2009. I've been busy, retirement has done that, more time to do things and less done. An interesting aspect of retirement is that your thought process is modified because of a number of factors. In the work environment, besides the annoying aspect of work itself, there are all the distractions of coworkers, be they friendly or hostile/toxic, they are there to break your line of thought. And that, is why you should have a plan. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Millionaires Club: Bring home the Bacon
http://billbottomless.blogspot.com/2010/04/bring-home-bacon.html
Monday, April 12, 2010. Bring home the Bacon. Convenience food is bad for your checking account. A few products available today, from a list of thousands I suspect, show that the consumer can be robbed of precious dollars for so called, time saving foods. I've said before, I don't want the blog turning into a series of lists, but a couple of items have caught my eye in this weeks grocery flyer, the first being bacon. The only thing that will be fatter is your wallet. Bacon weighs a lot less when cooked&#...

The Millionaires Club: August 2011
http://billbottomless.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 1, 2011. The recent debt "crisis" in the USA has reminded me to add a post about things not to count on in your plan. This may come as a complete surprise to those who have their heads buried in the sand, but warnings about the impending doom have been around for decades and you should consider state funded pensions as potential "gravy" in the plan, but do not assume that you will be able to retire in luxury on anything that the government will provide. So, don't bank on any of it. Common ...
