The Founding Fathers and classical education
One of my pet peeves is how people often call forth the condemnation of the Founding Fathers upon modern-day America, as if the men who founded our nation were demigods, filled with a divine moral soundness and evangelical wisdom formed by the deeply puritanical society of colonial times. The leaders who shaped our nation’s path would shrink in shock at our modern political idolatry. They would insist we take them out of the temple of worship and instead see them as human beings, as people with flaws and prejudices shaped by the culture of their time.

When you retire, you may well have accomplished some important financial goals, such as sending your children through college and paying off your mortgage.

And, just as importantly, you’ll also need to be aware of the types of risk that could threaten these strategies.
