He is spending the money not investing it. A semantics point, but something to think about when credit card companies market cash back cards. Otherwise, a great idea.

His work depends on his physical wellness, and he can't crawl on his knees doing tile or hammer drywall forever. We hope he can because we want him to do alot for our house! They're really going to depend on fixed income when they can't work anymore. For their location and lack of debt, SS and medicare will work fine (I hope).

I mean, he's still working right? Who knows how long it might be until he actually retires. My FIL is nearing that age and he seems like the kind of guy who will never stop working.

It's never too late to start saving for retirement. If anything, if you are in your 60's and haven't started yet, you should be much more aggressive about your savings, rather than giving up on the concept. I agree with the other commenters.

I don't have a problem with the no disclaimer, especially since the CC offer is in the context of quality content and sound advice. Hope it makes you some money to offset the costs of running this blog! Smart.

I used to say so in my earlier posts, but I've been told that it's not relevant to the post and just post the offers without the disclaimer. I've continually debated with myself about displaying credit card offers, but I've decided towards offering them. If it doesn't prove to be lucrative, then I'll drop them. More information than you asked for, but I figured I would share. Kyle: Yes, I get commissions.
