Updated Glossary

As you may know from our biographies, we are two retired Fellows (of the Society of Actuaries) here at How Much Can I Afford to Spend in Retirement.   I (Ken) do most of the initial post drafting and Bobbie does most of the post review and correction.  In her review capacity, Bobbie does her level best to replace technical actuarial jargon, and other technical jargon, with English.  She takes her job of making the posts more understandable for a wider audience very seriously.  She will frequently ask me, “if I don’t understand what you are talking about, how do you expect your non-actuarial audience to understand?”

In pursuit of enhancing understanding of our posts, Bobbie has recently updated the glossary of terms that we frequently use.  You will find it in the “Glossary” section.  Feel free to suggest additional terms or changes you would like to see in this section, or elsewhere in our website, to make this site more useful to you.
