It is a great thing in life when you do good work for people, and good things turn around and happen to you. We started this podcast because we have a passion to share free advice for the “do-it-yourselfers” out there who need straight-forward, honest advice. In turn, we have not only transformed many of those listeners into clients, but we have also been fortunate enough to connect with others in the podcast and blogging community. In today’s show, we share some of the thoughts and research from members of the blogging world who we truly value having a supportive relationship with.
Smart Money’s Best Brokers of 2012: We cover the top five on the show, but you can check out the full list with remarks from our friend, Jim Wang here.

Another relationship we have in the blogosphere is with fivecentnickel.com. Although he stays pretty anonymous about his real identity, he is very active in the blogging community and a regular commenter on our show. Check out Another Retirement Rule of Thumb posted by Nickel recently. He challenges Fidelity investment’s recommendation for having saved 8X your annual salary by age 67 if you want to replace 85% of your pre-retirement income in retirement. He feels that retirement savings goals should be based on expenses, not income and his rule of thumb is this: Project your retirement income needs and multiply by 25 (or 33 if you want to be conservative). These values correspond to 4% and 3% withdrawal rates, respectively.

If you can follow these rules of thumb, you will be just fine when you get to retirement. A special thank you to our friends in the blogging world for sharing your insight with us. As always, please share your questions or comments below or on our Facebook page!
