Joe,

Thanks. Yes, I’ll let you know. I was just in Iowa for Christmas, and we are tentatively planning for our next trip this summer.

Best wishes, Wade

Hi Wade. What a great surprise to hear from you! I’ve been really impressed with your research and think it will be hugely helpful for a lot of people. I’m glad to hear that I didn’t mangle the explanation too badly. Since I just touched on the “safe savings rate” briefly in the World Herald article, I’m actually working on another post that will discuss it in a bit more depth. I’ll send you a copy when it’s done. Shoot me an email next time you’re back in the states. I’d love to grab a cup of coffee or something.

Take care.

Joe

I saw this article in the Omaha World-Herald. I’m the author of some of the research you discussed. Thank you for mentioning it, and I think you explained it quite right.

I’m from Des Moines, so we are relative neighbors, though I am currently living in Japan.

Best wishes, Wade
