Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are near or in retirement, this book will solve a retirement dilemma that many retirees face, Spend Less or Run Out of Money.

If you decide you need the help of a Financial Planner or Financial Advisor, this book will provide valuable information on how to select, work with, and measure your advisor's performance. Why is this book different from so many books written on this subject? First and foremost, this book was written from a different perspective, that of a retired executive and engineer, trained and experienced in solving difficult problems. The author is not a Financial Planner or Investment Adviser, or someone selling his latest book on some flashy new technique that probably requires additional services. He is someone who's learned many valuable lessons in preparing for, and has been living in retirement for several years, someone who has done the research and knows how to simplify this complex subject. The author began thinking about retirement issues many years before retiring. Among the first questions were, What Retirement Lifestyle did he and his wife want to have and what did it look like? This led to the next question, How much money would be needed to support the lifestyle they wanted in retirement? As he quickly discovered, answering these questions was no easy task and it led him to seek the answer to another critical question; If you need or want to spend more than your retirement income, how much savings could be safely withdrawn each year so that you do not outlive your savings? The answers to these and many more questions are provided by this book. The book explains four different, but popular savings withdrawal systems used by many financial advisors and examines their potential impact on your retirement lifestyle. It will guide you in selecting a savings withdrawal system that you can be comfortable with and help prevent you from running out of money before you run out of Life. It includes the topics that the author has found to be important in building his retirement plan. As such, it will help you to: 1. Create your retirement plan. 2. Fashion the retirement Lifestyle you want. 3. Create a spending budget that supports your Retirement Lifestyle. 4. Choose a savings withdrawal system you are comfortable with. 5. Navigate the many risks you might face in retirement. 6. Decide when you should take Social Security. 7. Decide if an annuity is right for your situation. 8. Examine the impact income taxes will have on your income. 9. Decide what savings and investment accounts to withdraw from and in what order to minimize taxes and maximize investment returns. 10. Decide where to invest for safety, diversification, growth and peace of mind. You cannot predict the future, but this book will help you make the decisions and calculations you need to make in order to determine if your planned lifestyle is achievable. If you purchase this book, you will have access to a free, powerful spreadsheet program that automates many worksheet inputs and calculations, and allows What-If analysis to see the effects of altering key variables.

Download or read book Rock Retirement written by Roger Whitney and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A guide for planning that rich season of life, based not just on money, but also on how to create meaningful relationships, memories, and legacy.” —Dan Miller, author of 48 Days to the Work You Love Rock Retirement offers inspirational advice on how to enjoy the journey to retirement to its fullest. Traditional retirement advice usually boils down to saving more, sacrificing more, and settling for less. This approach makes people dependent on systems outside their control, such as the market, economy, and investment returns. The result: people lose power over determining their life. What sets Rock Retirement apart is its holistic approach to helping people take back control and act intentionally towards the life they want. It addresses the fears, hopes, and dreams that people have about retirement, goes way beyond the numbers, and shows them how to balance living well today and tomorrow. “Too many books think retirement is just about finances. Instead, retirement is about looking at life in full and working out what it is you want to do and then turning to finances to make it happen. That’s exactly the focus of the practical and helpful guide.” —Andrew Scott, coauthor of The 100-Year Life “Roger Whitney lays out a plan for today’s modern retiree. If you are exhausted with being fed that retirement is the end game of life, then Roger’s book is a must-read!” —Darryl W. Lyons, author of 18 to 80 “If you’re dreaming of a retirement free of worry, chao and confusion, Rock Retirement will give you the clarity, a solid plan and fresh inspiration to help you get where you want to go.” —Jevonnah “Lady J” Ellison, author of Love Letters for Leading Ladies

Will your nine-to-five workday only end when your vitality is sapped, when your zest is completely gone, and there's nothing to look forward to but quietly dying in your bed? It doesn't have to be that way. There's no reason to spend your whole active life tied up in the same unrelenting cycle of making money only to use it up without ever having really tasted it. You don't need to wait so long to schedule all the things you want to do at the very end of everything, when you are scarcely able to physically enjoy it. But that is the default, and that is where you're heading if you don't take decisive, certain action now.

If you want something different, it is you who has to take the first proactive steps toward your own dreams. Nobody is going to do that for you. And the earlier you start, the better. This book will help you take charge of your work, your finances, and your future, enabling your retirement to begin the day that you say it does. You don't have to retire at age 65 just because Jack, Betty, and Susan are going to. This is your life, and you owe it to yourself to take control and plan it your way.

Download or read book How to Make Your Money Last Completely Updated for Planning Today written by Jane Bryant Quinn and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW COMPLETELY UPDATED to reflect the changes in tax legislation, health insurance, and the new investment realities. In this “highly valuable resource” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) Quinn “provides simple, straightforward” (The New York Times) solutions to the universal retirement dilemma—how to make your limited savings last for life—covering mortgages, social security, income investing, annuities, and more! Will you run out of money in your older age? That’s the biggest worry for people newly retired or planning to retire. Fortunately, you don’t have to plan in the dark. Jane Bryant Quinn tells you how to squeeze a higher income from all your assets—including your social security account (get every dollar you’re entitled to), a pension (discover whether a lump sum or a lifetime monthly income will pay you more), your home equity (sell, rent, or take a reverse mortgage?), savings (how to use them safely to raise your monthly income), retirement accounts (invest the money for growth in ways that let you sleep at night), and—critically—how much of your savings you can afford to spend every year without running out. There are easy ways to figure all this out. Who knew? Quinn also shows you how to evaluate your real risks. If you stick with super-safe investment choices, your money might not last and your lifestyle might erode. The same might be true if you rely on traditional income investments. Quinn rethinks the meaning of “income investing,” by combining reliable cash flow during the early years of your retirement with low-risk growth investments, to provide extra money for your later years. Odds are, you’ll live longer than you might imagine, meaning that your savings will stretch for many more years than you might have planned for. With the help of this book, you can turn those retirement funds into a “homemade” paycheck that will last for life.
