About the Author    (Updated 8/16/06) Just for the record, I am not a financial services professional. I work as an electrical engineer. Studying personal finance and investing is just a hobby for me. Back in 2001, I started my financial website. I wrote the main article first. My motivation was to have something clear and simple that friends, family and colleagues could read to help them start on their way to managing their money and the basics of investing. As time went by, I came across more ideas from books and articles. And so, I would write a short article covering what I learned. Then in 2004, I became interested in the topic of Investing DURING Retirement. I started with only a few books and articles. Since then, I have compiled a rather comprehensive collection of resources on the subject. Finally, I would like to end with my disclaimer. Everything on my website is for educational purposes only. If you have a need for assistance, please seek out a competent professional.
