Life, at least in a capitalistic economy, is full of choices. And is that ever true when it comes to investments. You have more investments to choose from than you’ll ever have time to research.

As you approach and then enter retirement, making smart decisions is even more important than ever because you’ll likely be living off of your investments. Most folks live on their investment income and eventually tap into some of the investment principal especially later in their retirement years.

In this key chapter, we discuss your best investment options for retirement money and help you understand the differences among investments. We discuss some of our favorite investments for you to consider. And last but not least, we explain how to evaluate, make changes to, and monitor your portfolio.
