WARNING! WARNING!
Give this some serious consideration before you finalize and present your retirement speech:
Regardless of how much money you have in your retirement portfolio, what you don't know about what makes people happy in their retirement can hurt you. Surprisingly, money is important, but not as important as how well you can handle leisure time — and a number of other essentials unrelated to money.
Retirement is a double-edged sword. You either make it work for you — or it will cut your happiness in half. The more you know about the secrets to a successful retirement, the happier you will be once you retire.

Benjamin Franklin's Advice about Money
Here is something written by Benjamin Franklin that relates to money management. If more Americans, not to mention people in other countries, followed this strategy, they would not have a problem with their finances in their retirement.
"When I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers. I went directly to a shop where they sold toys for children; and, being charmed with the sound of a whistle, that I met by the way in the hands of another boy, I voluntarily offered and gave all my money for one. I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but disturbing all the family. My brothers, and sisters, and cousins, understanding the bargain I had made, told me I had given four times as much for it as it was worth; put me in mind what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money; and laughed at me so much for my folly, that I cried with vexation; and the reflection gave me more chagrin than the whistle gave me pleasure. This however was afterwards of use to me, the impression continuing on my mind; so that often, when I was tempted to buy some unnecessary thing, I said to myself, Don't give too much for the whistle; and I saved my money."
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, letter to Madame Brillon, November10, 1779. - The Works of Benjamin Franklin, ed. Jared Sparks, vol. 2, p. 181 (1836)
There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate: when he can't afford it, and when he can.
— Mark Twain
The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets.
— John D. Rockefeller
Stay in love with a security until the security gets overvalued, then let somebody else fall in love with it.
