A blog about money and retirement issues for retirees and those who want to retire someday!
While Target Date Funds in 401(k) plans have performed well since the Bull Market that began 2009, this article does a good job of exposing the risk in those funds.

How much income do you need to afford the average home in your state? The answer may surprise you. Most of the nation’s housing markets have now almost completely recovered back to pre-housing-bubble levels, with many markets far surpassing those peaks. Howmuch.net collected average home prices for every state from Zillow, and then plugged the numbers into a typical mortgage calculator.
The states needing the highest salaries to afford the average home start with Hawaii at $153,520, followed by Washington D.C., California, Massachusetts, and Colorado. The states with lowest salaries needed to afford the average home include West Virginia at just $38,320 followed by Ohio, Michigan, Arkansas, and Missouri.
My goal for this blog is to provide information and help as many people as I can to have a successful retirement and to make informed financial decisions for retirement.
