Read MoreI was recently talking with a colleague who said he was close to retiring. Gil (not his real name) is in his early fifties and slightly quirky. He’s the type of guy who marches to the beat of his own drummer. Although he works for a large, corporate-think company, he sports a long beard and tattoos.

Read MoreI’ve gotten a good handle on my personal debt. For years after I climbed out of my debt hole, I didn’t use a credit card at all. I really didn’t want one, again. I no longer liked them.
