Quotes to ponder:

"Some types of retirement income are good for a lifetime, but lock you into a set cash flow. Some protect against the menace of inflation, but cost more up front."

"The only way to obtain true security in a modern retirement is to generate income from multiple sources which, taken together, protect you from the range of financial risks."

"Wealth building is about transparency and simplicity. Spend less than you make, grow the savings, and don’t lose it."
