People talk about “good debt” and “bad debt” as if it’s a mystery. It isn’t. Good debt is borrowing for something that makes you richer (Think house or education.)
Bad debt is everything else.

Asking for the ideal retirement age is like asking the proper age to start taking Social Security. They’re both nonsense questions.
Why? Because everyone’s situation is different. Do you love your job? Can you slow down and still keep it? Do you need the money? Are you healthy? What does your spouse want to do? What do YOU want to do after you retire? Do you depend on your job to give your life purpose and meaning?
These are just a few of the many questions you’ll be asking yourself as you approach retirement. Their answers will be unique because you’re unique.
As for me, I’ll soon be 69, but my wife is only 45: not ready to give up a career she finds rewarding. I love my job and have the ability to work fewer hours if I choose. I’m already doing a lot (but not all) of the things I’d do if I were retired. I like making and spending money, and don’t like the idea of a smaller (although likely adequate) fixed income. What I do — including writing this — gives my life purpose and meaning.
So, when will I retire? Honestly, I don’t have the slightest idea. But probably not today.

I’ve asked for, and gotten, free room upgrades many times. Here’s how:
- I’m super-nice. Like airline employees, hotel desk folks are used to angry, tired, stressed customers. Being friendly sets you apart. (And it’s the right thing to do anyway.) Before you ask for a better/bigger room, charm them. Use their name (it’s right there on their name tag) and ask how their day is going. You know...like you would anytime you’re about to ask someone for a favor.
- When you ask your boss for a raise, you explain why you deserve one, right? Same thing here. As you see in this hidden-camera video, I gave specific reasons why I deserve an upgrade, from the fact that I’m going to spend additional money at the hotel to the fact that we’re awesome people and deserve awesome perks.
- Don’t expect miracles. While I typically ask for an upgrade, it doesn’t always work. (Maybe half the time? I’ve never kept track.) If the hotel is sold out, obviously there’s no upgrade available for them to give you. But if you don’t succeed, don’t take it out on the hotel staff. It’s likely not their fault. And who knows? Maybe you’ll get a free drink in the bar, free parking, a free meal: don’t be shy.
- This is a perfect example of the Prime Directive when it comes to better deals and better service: ask. You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve simply by asking.

The best way to save on hotels is simple: Don’t pay anything for them by using credit card points. But shop around to see where your points will give you the biggest bang for your non-buck.
Other ways to save:
- Ask for a better deal: Check rates on hotels close to your target hotel. If you find something cheaper, call your target hotel and ask them to match the lower rate. Important: Don’t lie. Actually use nearby rates. Critical: Talk to the front desk at your target hotel. Don’t call an 800 number reservation line. They can’t help. Also important: Be nice. This is a “flies with honey” situation.
- If you can’t get a deal, try to get an upgrade. Remember: Rooms that go unused are worthless to the hotel. Impressing you with an unsold suite costs them nothing extra and creates a happy customer. (Watch part 2 and you can see me on hidden-camera asking for, and getting, a free upgrade.)
