Quotes to ponder:

"Worrying is like paying a debt you don’t owe; I have spent most of my life worrying about things that never happened."

"The fear of outliving my savings has abated. With five years of data in the rearview mirror, the upshot is that my net worth is 6.3% higher today than it was when I retired."

"For many who still work, the only thing standing between them and their dreams is the perceived vulnerability of their nest eggs."
