Rowe Price one, to this very subtle Charles Schwab colors-only ad: You have the beach, ocean, and clouds here &#8212; all in one otherwise hidden image.&#160; The same colors were later adapted and added to other ads.&#160; For example, there is this one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hours of conversation are possible on the topic of retirement, especially where images of paradise are concerned.&#160; We are programmed throughout life by images that tell us that at some point in our lives we&#8217;re supposed to stop working and start relaxing, and if we can start relaxing on the beach, we&#8217;ll be more fulfilled.
