Welcome, readers, to Barron's relaunched retirement newsletter. It will still come weekly, arriving in your inboxes first thing Sunday morning, but it will now feature the latest in retirement news and research from Barron's and beyond, including advice on saving, investing, and spending.
But that's not all. Each week's edition will feature first-run content on a variety of issues related to living in and saving for retirement. Among the already-planned offerings: a new column, Living in Retirement; and On FIRE, answering your questions on the "financial independence/retire early" movement. The newsletter will also feature a handy repository of retirement resources, including links to calculators and commonly used websites.
We hope you will find this revamped newsletter useful and make it part of your Sunday reading routine. And we'll be curious to hear your feedback now and in the future about how we're doing, what you'd like to see, and just about anything as it relates to retirement. Please email us at retirement@barrons.com with any questions, comments, or ideas.
Thanks for reading ... enjoy!
