I’m 67 and retired with $57,000 left on my mortgage and $600,000 saved for retirement — should I pay off my home now?
Will we have enough to ‘live a simple life’ in retirement? Many other retirees wonder the same thing as you, and may be in similar financial circumstances where they’re able to pay the bills and have money saved in their retirement accounts. Your interest rate is fantastic, you’re capable of making the monthly payment from just your pension and Social Security without tapping into your 401(k) and you have so much of your home already paid off — all wins.

Billionaire Israel Englander Pulls the Trigger on These 2 ‘Strong Buy’ Penny Stocks
Risk and reward are the yin and yang of stock trading, the two opposite but essential ingredients in every market success. And there are no stocks that better embody both sides – the risk factors and the reward potentials – than penny stocks. These equities, priced below $5 per share, typically offer high upside potentials. Even a small gain in share price – just a few cents – quickly translates into a high yield return. Of course, the risk is real, too; not every penny stock is going to show th

Novavax: All Eyes on Upcoming FDA Advisory Meeting
It’s difficult for most stocks to make any headway in 2022. Inflation, rising interest rates and Russia’s ongoing war on Ukraine have dragged down even those with minimal exposure to the macro headwinds. For Novavax (NVAX), these worries have been amplified by other considerations. First, there is the prospect of dwindling global demand for Covid-19 vaccines, what with the virus on the backfoot in many parts of the world and there being an oversupply in selected regions. Secondly, in the U.S. at

My wife and I are in our 50s with $300,000 in a 401(k) and $700,000 in a pension. Will we have enough to ‘live a simple life’ in retirement?
Many Americans are surprised to see they have not prepared as well as they had hoped for retirement when they finally get ready to call it quits. The bad news is, you’ll probably have to make some realistic assumptions of what your retirement will look like. If you’ve lived primarily paycheck to paycheck in your working years, that may continue to feel the case in your retirement.
