Planning for retirement isn’t just about money.
Retirement has changed dramatically since our parents’ generation. People are living far longer, with far better health than ever before—both mentally and physically.
Instead of slowing down, people are leaving their jobs feeling ready to take on the world. They’re financially independent, active, and capable.
And then, suddenly, they have nothing to do.
Business friends drift away, the sense of purpose that comes with solving problems day in and day out fades into memory, and you start looking ahead to the next thirty or forty years wondering what on earth you’re going to do with all that time.
Retiring? takes a profound look at twenty-first-century retirement, helping you plan all the nonfinancial aspects of what comes next.
Drawing on the experience of today’s modern, vibrant retirees, Retiring? offers a concise, practical, and conversational guide to the best chapter of your life.
What Readers are Saying
“Best retirement book I’ve read. In fact, that’s too limited. It’s a great book for anyone facing a lifestyle transition. I wish I had had something similar to guide me when I decided to leave the workforce to stay home with my children years ago. Looking forward to using it to guide my future retirement plans and, in the meantime, am giving copies to all my friends/family members who are in their 50s/60s for Christmas this year. ”
“Ted and Bruce are terrific leaders and the book is a thoughtful departure from most retirement books, about 95 percent of which are about money and financial planning. This book acknowledges and addresses the reality that realizing a successful retirement requires equal if not more attention to nonfinancial issues.”
“This book is a must-read for those planning a retirement — whether next week, next month, next year, or within the next decade. It is practical, easy-to-read, insightful, and full of important tips to ensure that your retirement leads to happiness, fulfillment, financial independence, and emotional security. Retirement requires planning and thought — and this is the best “how-to” book to make it work. It’s a tiny investment with a huge rate of return... Buy it now!”
“With people living longer, more and more retirement becomes a critical issue; this excellent work is perfect for our times. We all need a “how-to” book on turning retirement into something wonderful, rather than the fear that many have of what they will do when retired.”
