Annuity Investments Made Easy
Is it really true that you can find all the information you need on the web? Until now, there was at least one piece missing: it was nearly impossible for seniors to find trustworthy information on annuity investments -- information from a third-party source, rather than an insurance company or agent trying to sell a product.
Earl E. Bird wants to use his twenty years of financial experience to look out for our nation's seniors, and that's why he started the most comprehensive annuity blog that looks out for consumers first.
EarlEBird.com is an annuity blog dedicated to public advocacy and freedom of information, where you can finally find simplified term definitions and straightforward facts about annuities and other options for protecting and growing your nest egg. Earl and the gang want to help senior citizens spread their wings and take control of their finances, and that's why he's the crusader for the American saver!

We obviously have bloggers, writers and regular people sharing their retirement and empty nest stories here on Stage of Life, but we also think future AND current retirees should check out Prudential's "Day One" project.
Check out the retirement video testimonials, retirement statistics, and other retirement resources provided by Prudential's Day One project website. This ambitious and creative project gets a thumbs up from Stage of Life.
