Nest Eggs

By

A hen will lay an egg anywhere she feels safe. For a long time we kept our chickens in a run due to coyotes in the area. At some point we decided to let them out to roam the property. The longer they were out, the fewer eggs we found in their nesting boxes. Here's some we found on the range.

  1. A “nest egg” generally refers to retirement accounts. ... There's no single correct amount to save for retirement. For example, a $500,000 nest egg may be a good amount, but some retirees may be able to live on less than that. Others may need more than that, depending on where they live and how many dependents they have.

  2. Once you're retired and are no longer counting on earned income to live on and supplement your nest egg, you're done with disability insurance. At that point, though, the need for long-term care insurance - which protects you from spending that nest egg too fast - takes over.--Jean Chatzky

  5. It's just wrong to work your whole life to build up a nest egg, build your own business - you pass away, and Uncle Sam can swoop in and take away nearly half of everything you've earned. Can you imagine that? Having to sell off most of your land just to keep it from the government, just to save the house.--Kevin Brady
