POPSAbout eggs "Eggs have been known to, and enjoyed by, humans for many centuries. Jungle fowl were domesticated in India by 3200 B.C.E. Record from China and Egypt show that fowl were domesticated and laying eggs for human consumption around 1400 B.C.E., and there is archaeoligical evidence for egg consumption dating back to the Neolithic age. The Romans found egg-laying hens in England, Gaul, and among the Germans. The first domesticated fowl reached North America with the second voyage of Columbus in 1493." ---Encyclopedia of Food and Culture, Solomon H. Katz, editor, William Woys Weaver, associate editor 2003, Volume 1 (p. 558)

POPSBaby Boomers unprepared to meet Financial Advisors I am sure there are many professional financial planners who will help these unprepared baby Boomers. But I believe there are many more who see Baby Boomers as a way to maintain their own lifestyle. Watch out for high percentage based fees, hidden charges, presentations on long term survival based on the flaw of average returns, misuse of overly optimistic Monte Carlo Simulations, no strategy to limit losses and many more dangers. These are covered in my eBook "What Every Baby Boomer should know about protecting their nest Egg in Retirement". Be prepared for your meeting with your financial adviser.

POPSSaving for Retirement? Apparently Not... This is a scary report on CNN Money about just how few people are saving for retirement. I'm 24 and I already am scared about retirement and how much I am actually going to need to survive. I have some money saved thus far but it's going to take a lot more than I have now to get there. All I know is that my generation could be in a lot of trouble when it comes time to leave the workforce.
