		<description><![CDATA[The content of human happiness is a subject for never-ending speculation and wonder. One aspect of this picture seems to have clarified, however. Retirees consistently say that they are happier when they have a reliable source of income than when they don’t.
Unfortunately, retirement is, by definition, that time of life when earned income ceases. How, then, should a prospective retiree find a reliable income source?

Putting the money in the stock of any one company &#8211; no matter how sound, no matter how “hot,” no matter how currently profitable – would be the wrong thing to do.
