Hi Michelle,

It will be great to see an article in the Money Magazine on some good advice once we are retired and with some good amount of funds in the pension account to live comfortably. Surely, we should continue monitoring and reviewing how the funds are allocated. I do not see articles about people that are already retired. It will be useful to a lot of people.

Thanks

Keep up the good work. I love the Money Magazine. I am a long-time subscriber and I have learnt a lot from the articles.
