I will read those, but on starting the first story, I just had to come back here with a comment regarding this:

"The husband who died in the car wreck had failed to change the beneficiary on his life insurance, Linda said, and her in-laws kept the proceeds.
"I was broke, uneducated and had no medical insurance," Linda remembered. "I owed the hospital and doctor for my son's birth and owed for my husband's funeral. My treatment by my in-laws made me furious, so I decided I'd show them!"

How could parents live with themselves profitting from their son's death, and not helping with the expense to bury him or to provide for his new baby?!! Rrrgh! What kind of world is this?

All of them pretty much said to max out your retirement accounts.

I didn't read the article, except to look at their tips, but they all appear to be sound advices.

Thanks for sharing!

I saw that too and was horrified!

There are all kind of awful people in the world. Hopefully they'll get theirs soon enough!

Interesting! Maybe in a few decades I can have the same story.
