Dear Readers: We absolutely love getting your feedback about Topretirements and this newsletter - it is helpful so please keep it coming! And although we wish we had the time to respond to all of your requests, we simply don't. This is a free site, and we hope, a cooperative effort. So here is our suggested alternative to asking us - if you have a specific question about retirement or where to live - please post it in the Forum under the most likely topic. Likewise if you see a question that you think you have some expertise on (or even an opinion!), reply to that post. Everyone will profit from the increased interaction and sharing of knowledge - thanks!
