Scott Burns' Articles -- Recent and Archived
I would like to thank all of you who have sent me email wishing me well! In fact, I have become overwhelmed and just wanted to make you aware that my response time might not be as timely as I would like. However, just hang in there. If you sent me something, I will respond. Furthermore, I would like to thank all of you who have been so faithful and have supported me through the worst of times and the best. My greatest strength comes from knowing that my pen can make a difference when "it's only money".
My new book and work with Mr. Kotlikoff is certainly a challenge, but I think when we finally get it done, it will offer significant value to readers.
I am also looking forward to bringing our new financial website to the market. I think the ability to interact with all of you on a more frequent basis in a social computing environment is exciting. In addition, I believe my experiences and knowledge of the industry can help deliver a value-added selection of prescriptive portfolios. We are working hard to dot our i's and cross our t's. Please stay tuned to scottburns.com for all of the updates we will be making before our final release in early 2007. In addition, we will continue to increase the content to be the repository of past and present work.
I look forward to continuing my writing and helping where I can. Thanks again!
Your Friend,
Scott
About scottb
Scott Burns has covered the changing world of personal finance and investments for nearly 40 years. Today, he ranks as one of the five most widely read personal finance writers in the country.
Scott began his career as a newspaper columnist at the Boston Herald in 1977 where he was also the financial editor. Nationally syndicated in 1981 and now distributed by Universal Press, the column appears in newspapers from Boston to Seattle. In 1985 he joined the staff of the Dallas Morning News where his column quickly became one of the most widely read features in the paper. He left the Dallas Morning News in 2006 to become one of the founders of AssetBuilder and its Chief Investment Strategist.
Burns is a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1962). He has written four books, including "The Coming Generational Storm" (MIT Press, 2004) coauthored with economist Laurence J. Kotlikoff. His fourth book, also coauthored with Kotlikoff, will be published this spring by Simon & Schuster. "Spend Til' the End" uses consumption smoothing to demonstrate the errors of conventional financial planning.
His business experience includes working as a staffer for a major consulting company and service as a director and audit chairman of a NASDAQ listed manufacturing company. He and his wife divide their time between Dallas and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
