HP Update (Dead Again)
As many of you know, I had a problem with my HP notebook not too long ago. Seems Nvidia had a problem with defective chips and HP as well as others used them in the motherboards of a load of notebooks and desktops.
Now you may be asking what did HP do to resolve the known problem?
Wal-Mart and creative math
According to an article that MSN had The Price Of Wal-Mart Coming To Town, Wal-Mart has an interesting way of doing math. They promise an increase of taxes and jobs but none of the supporters that I’ve read subtract the local jobs that have been lost. It’s like they are using a broken calculator. It was probably made in China.
NAKED RETIREMENT
Naked Retirement strips down the old traditional models of retirement planning and replaces the it with a more creative and intuitive one that helps people take control of their retirement planning, saving, and investing.
The book details the evolution of retirement and uses it to help baby boomers and retirees understand why they are behind in saving and what they can do about it.
"Retirement planning can no longer be one-dimensional, focused exclusively on merely providing information such as how pensions or a 401(k)’s work. It needs to extend beyond financial planning to include aspects of health and social issues that will impact future retirees," according to author, Robert Laura.
Billed as the ultimate defense against the scary, anxious, and stressful feelings people get on their first day of retirement when they have only a financial plan full of numbers and charts to guide them, Laura simplifies the mental and emotional aspects of retirement planning with thought-provoking questions about your definition and approach to retirement as well as important retirement conversations that foster strong relationships in retirement.
The book culminates into a one-page Naked Retirement plan that will help people as well as planners successfully estimate retirement preparedness and future success.
Book is available at NakedRetirement.com and is emailed in pdf format directly to participants.
