Easter Sunday is here in Connecticut with daffodils everywhere and bright yellow forsythia lining the roads. The Boomer Bloggers are back too with practical matters on their mind—from pondering the roads not taken, to figuring out the best financial strategies in these uncertain times. Can you relate?
Looking back on life’s decisions…
Can’t get through life without a few regrets–maybe for things we did or even things we didn’t get to do. Over on her blog today, Carol Cassara discusses this in her post “Regrets, I’ve Had a Few.”
What does “rich” really mean?
What is the Secret of a Rich Retirement? Author Dawn Fleming, a former attorney, writes about her view on Rebecca Olkowski’s blog BabyBoomster.com after moving to an island in the Caribbean. Dawn is also the author of the book, “Claim Your Dream Life: How to Retire in Paradise on a Shoestring Budget.”
What’s your financial I.Q.?
Review your financial plan or make one during Financial Literacy Month, suggests Rita R. Robison, consumer and personal finance journalist. During these turbulent financial times, it’s more important than ever that your money is working as well as it can for you.
Do you perform any of these strange money rituals?…
Money is one of those subjects we don’t discuss in polite society. But the other day, I found myself doing one of several bizarre cash rituals and asked myself if it’s just me. (Already, as I list several of these, I imagine the look of horror on my husband Randy’s face).
That’s it for now. Thank you for reading and if you’d like to receive posts by email, just press here!

Money has always been important to families, determining how they live. It’s even more crucial these days as tariffs and deregulation are turning everyday calm upside down.
