You book a flight to Los Angeles. You board the plane. The plane lands. You disembark, walk into the terminal and ask, 'How do I get here?' Frustrated, you fly home. A day later, you board another flight for LA. Once again, you are shocked to find yourself in the city of Angels. You fly home even more frustrated. Why does this keep happening? You don’t want to be in LA. You want to be in Boston. Airplanes are pretty good about reaching their destination. The airlines, for all their faults, tiny seats and surcharges, have an almost flawless record of arriving at the intended airport. You are virtually guaranteed to arrive at the city named right there on your ticket. The only way to end up in a different place is to book a different flight. Makes sense, right? Why, then, are you surprised when the destination of your “I can save you money” sales call is as consistent as landing in Los Angeles over and over again? Every time you connect with someone and your offer is ac...

Most people want to save as much as possible for retirement, and oftentimes that means listening to the experts about how, exactly, to plan for your senior years.  Unfortunately, though, there's a lot of not-so-great advice floating around out there, and some of the most well-known retirement rules no longer apply to today's workers. As you're planning for retirement, you may be better off steering clear of these outdated guidelines.  1. The 4% rule  The 4% rule has been around since the mid-1990s, and it states that you can withdraw 4% of your total savings during the first year of retirement, then adjust your withdrawals each year after to account for inflation.  While the 4% rule is still a good benchmark to get an idea of roughly how much you can spend each year in retirement, it has its flaws. For one, bond yields have dropped dramatically over the last couple of decades, so your retirement investments may not grow as much as the 4% rule assumes. In other word...

More than half of people do not think income protection is important, a new survey suggests.  A further 12 per cent don’t understand the value of an income protection policy, according to research from Shepherds Friendly.  This is despite finding fewer than a third of people could rely on their savings if they lost all sources of income, suggesting the vast majority would benefit from a policy paying out a regular sum if they were no longer able to work due to illness or injury.  Some four in ten could afford their current lifestyle for up to three months, and 12 per cent would only be able to last a month.
