There is a mix of retirements:

Pensions: Social Security, Military, RR, etc.

IRA/401K: Money saved where you draw and principal declines

Investments: Money that pays dividends, but you need to avoid decreasing the principal

Rental Income: Money from properties owned.

Annuities: Money paid every month for a given length of time, but unlikely to account for inflation.

Other: Inheritance, savings, other.

Pensions appear to be the best, until they run out of money and you lose it. Government pensions appear safe, but what the government gives, the government can take away.

Best to have a mix of all for when you don’t get what you expect.

All that and yet there is one investment for retirement that never runs out nor fades away. It is available to anyone who asks without price (no money), yet its value is incalculable.

John 4:
  1. Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
  2. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.


Our Father in heaven, holy is Your Name. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, as we also have forgiven those who sinned against us. And lead us not into testing, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

(Matt. 6:9-13)
