Any Classic French Press It’s true that some French presses are better for travel than others, but you can actually use any kind of French press for “instant” coffee while on the go. Just put your grounds in the pot, pour in your hot water (found at any gas station), and use the tight-netted plunger to press your coffee grounds to the bottom of the pot. It’ll get all the flavor out of your grounds (or even tea), and you won’t have to worry about spills. The best part is that French presses are very affordable, starting at $10–$20 on Amazon.

didn’t need additional income. They had the freedom to choose whether they were ready to give money away to their children and grandchildren or put it toward assisted living. They chose the latter, and we came up with a plan that would allow them to use their assets and income flow to pay for it, maintain their quality of life, and choose the best possible facility. That’s retirement planning done right. People run out of money in retirement all the time, but you can avoid that and achieve the flexibility you need to get through all three stages with smart investing and financial planning. A big part of this is diversification of your portfolio. Without diversification, which protects you from both downturns and growth, you won’t have the freedom and choice that you need to live happily in retirement. Fortunately, we can help with that! We work continuously on our clients’ portfolios to ensure they will perform well no matter what life throws at them. One thing we can’t do for you is protect your health. Doing that proactively is the closest you can come to “buying” more time in retirement. As I write this, the mirror is reminding me that I have to do a better job of taking care of my health, too. Why? Well, I plan on working here until I’m 80, then having a big party (which you’ll be invited to, of course) and driving off at the end in my ’66 Pontiac LeMans. I’ll wave at you as I pull away, knowing I’m off to have some more fun! You can have that carefree retirement too. You just have to remember to protect your health and invest wisely with your wealth. We’re here to help.
