Managing your Finances for a Successful Retirement

Monday, September 14th, 2009

If you had planned to rely on stock market investments for your retirement, you better find a plan B fast. After the market tumble, many seniors who had their savings tied to stocks soon realized their mistake. Depending on the success of national economics can be like depending on a sand hill for a housing foundation.

Many of these seniors now realize that with annuity, retirement is more secure. They’re transferring what’s left over to annuity. They choose to buy annuity because they realize nothing is more fickle than the stock market. Annuities don’t lose their value. If needed, selling annuity is always an option.

Understandably, one of the worst concerns of seniors is outliving their savings. This is especially true when hit by stock market losses as funds that were supposed to last years are no longer exist. You shouldn’t have to worry about dying before you run out of money. Your retirement should be spent satisfied, financially secure and worry free.

In terms of annuity, retirement security comes down to knowing you’ll always have an income no matter how long you live, no matter what happens in the stock market.

There’s a strong demand in the market for selling annuity. It’s a great asset, whether you use it to depend on for the rest of your life or use it as a resource later down the road.

In the Bridal Spirit

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Lately it seems like all the women around me are getting hitched! For the next few months, my calendar is full of weddings, bridal showers and—best of all—bachelorette parties! You know what that means—lots of lingerie purchases to be made!

In my group of friends I’m known for being that vulgar little devil that supplies all the dirty girl products at the parties, and I’m okay with that. It’s fun, and the ladies appreciate the naughtiness. It’s my goal to spice things up a bit. Isn’t the whole point of bachelorette parties to get raunchy with your girlfriends? I think so. So why waste time buying granny panties? Bridal lingerie is meant to be exciting, sexy, spicy, fun, etc. Save all the lackluster stuff for AFTER the wedding!

Since I’m the one that gets stuck doing most of the party planning, I make sure every party guest gets some spice in her life… not just the bride-to-be. Remember when you were a kid, and there would be little gift bags for all the children with candy, toys, stickers and other party favors? Well, I think that is a fabulous idea for bachelorette parties as well. Of course, the special girl will get her special bag with her special bridal lingerie and other honeymoon goodies. Then I’ll make a separate set of gift bags for the other ladies with items like leather lingerie, flavored lube and edible underwear. I know, leather lingerie might be a bit “out there,” but it’s definitely worth a try!

I mean, I see bachelorette parties as motivation for all the girls to get naughty. As a matter of fact, the bride-to-be in many cases is the one who is most behaved! So it’s our job as partygoers to join in the festivities the right way, with lingerie and other sexy party favors!
