A fresh perspective on retirement
– moneysense.ca
In her book, Reimagine Your Retirement, Joyce Li, a project manager and motivational speaker, offers a perspective on retirement that is not at all the traditional full-stop retirement we think of when we see ads from banks and fund companies.Instead, she views retirement as a sort of spiritual/vocational halfway house between one’s working years and eternity. This is not dissimilar to my own view of Findependence or semi-retirement. In fact, she credits Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life for inspiring her almost a decade ago: she gave six family members copies of Warren’s book, with personalized inscriptions.
Are you haunted by nagging dreams?
Li spends time a good chunk of time talking about “nagging dreams” that have yet to come true. And who among us does not harbour dreams we’ve not yet been able to manifest in this harsh workaday world and its seeming financial constraints?

Regulators take over small bank in Illinois; brings US bank failures to 14 in 2014
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – Regulators have closed a small lender in Illinois, bringing U.S. bank failures this year to 14 after 24 closures in all of 2013.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said Friday that it has taken over GreenChoice Bank FSB, based in Chicago.
The bank, which operated three branches, had about $72.9 million in assets and $71 million in deposits as of March 31.
Providence Bank LLC, based in South Holland, Illinois, has agreed to assume all of the failed bank’s deposits.
The FDIC said that Providence Bank also agreed to buy roughly $67.7 million of GreenChoice Bank’s assets.
The failure of GreenChoice Bank is expected to cost the deposit-insurance fund $14.2 million.
U.S. bank failures have been declining since they peaked in 2010 in the wake of the financial crisis and the Great Recession.
Only three banks went under in 2007. That jumped to 25 in 2008, after the financial meltdown, and ballooned to 140 in 2009.
In 2010, regulators seized 157 banks, the most in any year since the savings and loan crisis two decades ago…
