    Behind the Lines of 1776: Camp Followers and the Forgotten Backbone of the American Revolution Episode

    click here: Leave a text, tell us what you liked Part of the 250th Anniversary Series on RetireCoast.com As we approach the 250th Anniversary of American Independence, it’s time to look beyond the battlefield and honor the people whose sacrifices made freedom possible—but whose stories are rarely told. In this episode, we explore the lives of the camp followers who trailed the Continental Army during the American Revolution. These families—women, children, and elderly relatives—performed the essential work that kept the army alive.  They nursed the sick, repaired clothing, prepared meals, and endured starvation, disease, and the constant threat of violence, often while receiving fewer rations than the soldiers themselves. Even George Washington acknowledged that the army could not have survived without their tireless support. Their labor, resilience, and willingness to suffer unimaginable hardships formed the true backbone of the war effort. This podcast is part of RetireCoast.com’s 250th Anniversary series, an entire section dedicated to exploring what happened in 1776—and how our forefathers and foremothers endured extraordinary hardship, uncertainty, and sacrifice to create this great nation.  These stories remind us that American independence was not won by soldiers alone, but by families and civilians who carried the weight of history on their backs. This episode stands as a tribute to the unsung heroes of the Revolution—and a reminder that freedom was forged not only through battle, but through perseverance, sacrifice, and shared resolve.

    Fix Credit Without Getting Scammed: 15 Smart Moves for Millennials

    click here: Leave a text, tell us what you liked This guide from RetireCoast.com details how millennials can improve their credit scores without falling victim to predatory scams. It emphasizes that legitimate credit repair is a slow, mechanical process rooted in consistent habits like on-time payments and low debt utilization rather than quick fixes. Readers are warned to avoid companies that demand upfront fees or promise to remove accurate negative data, as these are common indicators of fraud. RetireCoast advocates for a self-help approach, encouraging individuals to monitor their own free credit reports and use official government resources for disputes. Ultimately, the source frames good credit as a tool for financial access, such as securing mortgages or auto loans, rather than an end in itself. Highlighting a long-term mindset, the material provides a structured framework for achieving financial stability through patience and informed decision-making.

    Women at War 1776: Indispensable Contributions of Women to Win the Revolutionary War

    click here: Leave a text, tell us what you liked This article highlights the indispensable contributions of women during the American Revolution, challenging historical myths that once dismissed them as mere observers. Through the stories of figures like Margaret Corbin and Sarah Osborn, the source illustrates how women provided vital logistical support and occasionally engaged in direct combat. Modern research and primary documents, such as pension records, prove that these individuals faced extreme danger while working as cooks, nurses, and even artillery operators. The material also covers diverse roles of resistance, ranging from the intellectual influence of Phillis Wheatley to the daring rescue missions of Elizabeth Burgin. Ultimately, the overview emphasizes that these women were active agents of independence whose labor and bravery were essential to the Continental Army’s survival. This comprehensive look at the "forgotten half" of the war serves to complete the historical narrative as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.

    Coordinating Tax-Advantaged Retirement Accounts: 401(k)s, IRAs, Roth, and HSA

    click here: Leave a text, tell us what you liked This guide from RetireCoast focuses on providing a comprehensive and evergreen strategy for utilising multiple tax-advantaged retirement accounts, including 401(k)s, Traditional and Roth IRAs, and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). We explain that successful retirement planning relies on coordinating these different accounts as a single system, rather than treating them in isolation. Key sections break down the function of each account—positioning the 401(k) as the core accumulation engine and the HSA as a triple tax-advantage tool for healthcare—and offer practical case studies showing how to prioritise funding to maximise employer matches and tax-free growth. The text also covers important topics like managing 401(k) rollovers after a job change and the benefits of opening a custodial Roth IRA for minors to leverage long-term tax-free compounding.

    250 Years: Price Stability Lost to Slow Inflation

    click here: Leave a text, tell us what you liked The RetireCoast article, "The 250-Year Price Shock," argues that America's high modern cost of living is the result of a financial history moving from centuries of price stability to permanent, managed inflation. Using reconstructed family ledgers and wage data from colonial times, the piece demonstrates that purchasing power remained virtually unchanged for over 150 years (1720–1913), only temporarily interrupted by the severe effects of the Revolutionary War's fiat currency collapse. This long-standing stability was fundamentally broken by a series of 20th-century government actions, culminating in President Nixon’s 1971 decision to fully abandon the gold standard, which led to persistent, unbacked price increases. The author fiercely critiques the Federal Reserve's current 2% inflation target, claiming this policy is mathematically guaranteed to erode purchasing power significantly over the long term. Projections based on this compounding rate suggest that if the current trend continues, a skilled tradesman's daily wage by 2100 will buy exactly the same minimal amount of goods as it did during the absolute worst period of hyperinflation in 1779.
