T. Rowe Price Beach
Hours of conversation are possible on the topic of retirement, especially where images of paradise are concerned. We are programmed throughout life by images that tell us that at some point in our lives we’re supposed to stop working and start relaxing, and if we can start relaxing on the beach, we’ll be more fulfilled.

Short-lived messages in the sand
If there were an official Rapidsea holiday card, it would look something like this tacky image:
It’s a bit of irresistible spam for a partial real estate ownership reseller (timeshares and condos). How telling is it for a short-lived piece of spam to have its message written in beach sand? Bye bye. Delete.
Holiday Chocolate Oranges
I may have finally found a slight exception to the rule that chocolate is the one product that isn’t advertised with paradise, even though it’s usually grown there: holiday chocolate oranges.

Multi-Grain Cheerios ~ six times the sugar and ten times the escape
Who wouldn’t want to wake up in the morning and feel like you’re running across the beach carefree with your eyes closed and your arms waving in the air? You can if you eat Multi-Grain Cheerios:
Unless your parents kept you from eating your sugared cereals, you might like the fact that Multi-Grain Cheerios are slightly [...]
Is there enough of the good life to go around?
According to the Telegraph article "Beachfront property: All year in the sun, all day on the beach - all yours for £55,000," apparently "a villa by the sea, where you step out from your garden straight on to the sand, is how nearly half of us visualise our perfect holiday [vacation] home." This information comes [...]
WSJ: Whose Beach Is It Anyway?
