My book “Live It Up Without Outliving Your Money!” has been revised and
was published in June 2008 by John Wiley & Sons. The subtitle of
the book is “Getting the most from your investments in retirement,” and
that describes what’s between the covers.

Even if you are completely
capable of handling all your own affairs, having trusted advisors can be more
valuable than you might think.
I once received a phone
call from the daughter of one of my clients, asking me how much money her
father had in his account. Of course I declined to provide that information,
but I was curious about the reason behind her question.

Paul Merriman has identified his favorite 10 items listed in “Money” magazine’s May 2008 annual guide to the 100 best things from the past year. Paul’s interests and my own are slightly different, and Money’s list is so intriguing that I had no trouble coming up with nine additional items.

I owe a great debt to many other authors and teachers who have helped me understand investing. One of my favorites is John Bogle, founder and former chief executive officer of the Vanguard Mutual Fund Group.
I recommend John’s “The Little Book of Common Sense Investing” to anybody interested in successful long-term investing through index funds. I quote this book often because it does a great job of teaching simple lessons that are invaluable to any investor who wants to rise above mediocrity.
Today I offer four lessons from John’s book, with permission from John Wiley & Sons, the publisher of “The Little Book of Common Sense Investing” (and publisher of my own book, “Live It Up without Outliving Your Money!”).
Lesson One: Control what you can. Investing involves many facets, most of which are beyond the control and even the influence of us common investors. But one thing you can control, at least to a great extent, is how much you pay for somebody to manage your money for you. Expenses, in other words. Index funds are much less expensive to buy and to own than actively managed funds.
