🔮 Planning to retire at 65?

Beware: 58% of retirees retired EARLIER than planned.

Sometimes by choice. Too often because life intervenes.

@FormerDrJeff @RobertBrokamp Halloween always delivers… and so does @RobertBrokamp. Thanks, Jeff! 🎃

[Jeff Ross @FormerDrJeff]

I gave this pod a listen on today's walk.

It was a great listen, with many helpful financial planning tips... especially for those in or near retirement!

Kudos @DavidGFool and @RobertBrokamp for another solid rip. 🤝

My favorite section begins at 26:00; my father has been managing required minimum distributions a lot , so I shared this episode with him. He typically pays the taxes and returns the remainder to his rule breakers in his brokerage account. Robert Brokamp was an excellent guest, and I really also enjoy the podcast’s hidden gems 💎, they really have refined the approach over there.

Cheers 🥂 guys Fool On !!

Shout out to @RBIPodcast for turning me to an incredibly inspiring movie and true story.

“In the middle of the dark night of the soul, inspiration is the faint star that keeps you from lying down and accepting the darkness as permanent.”

A work of pure genius. 🤪

This is absolutely brilliant

[Andrew Gibson @AndrewGibs53446]

It seems like that’s always a chance we take in football, whether or not the referee will do their job competently and fairly. One’s hope is that one’s team is so good that the calls become irrelevant.

Bad calls can snowball a game quickly unfortunately, especially a
Close one.

Favorite quote from this weeks podcast

“The rules that we've
inherited are always worth questioning.”

- well said my friend Fool On !

[David Gardner @DavidGFool]

Notre Dame-BYU ridiculous uncalled pass interference as American football continues to try to grapple with ambiguous rules that themselves aren't enforced.

[Chris Hill @ChrisHillALX]

On a plane and the flight attendant announced “Your captain today is Captain Mike.”

What?

Don’t tell me that.

“Captain Mike” sounds like a 9 year old boy who won a contest and now gets to pilot this jet.

Tell me Mike’s last name or don’t even acknowledge his existence.

[David Gardner @DavidGFool]

🏈 New football rule?

ANY uncaught pass behind the line of scrimmage = FUMBLE.

No more debates about whether the QB’s arm was moving forward.

Brilliant—or madness? 🤔

Some financial lessons start early. Others come later. But what if we started sooner?

In our latest #FoolishLeaders spotlight, Board Member Sylvia Sierra explains why early investing education matters for the next generation.

Investing shouldn’t feel out of reach. 💛

[Andrew Gibson @AndrewGibs53446]

Ironically, I was still mad about a couple of tripping calls at my son’s flag football game that the ref failed to call, and they lost the game by one touchdown in the last game of the season. Perfect timing. ⏱️

The fact that Kimball couldn’t talk about baseball ⚾️ just made me want to hear him talk about baseball even more 😂
