Book excerpt: Happily Ever After doesn't have to be just a fairytale anymore This book was written with the current retiree in mind. It is one of the first books to recognize that once you get that last paycheck from your employer (the last paycheck for the rest of your life), you need to start seeing your money differently. One of the biggest fears of most retirees or those preparing for retirement is that they may run out of money before they die. That fear can be greatly reduced by following the simple, easy to implement strategies and plan that Jim Black shares in this book. As a retiree, you have spent 40 years or more saving and accumulating assets for retirement. Yet a single down year in the stock market can change your retirement forever. Most retirees think that they need to choose between growth and income, or risk and return, but Jim Black will show you that those options are not mutually exclusive.Using real life examples and humor, Black has created a process that helps retirees overcome their basic fears. He has done this in a manner that anyone, regardless of their financially sophistication, should be able to implement for themselves. By reading this book and implementing the strategies, you will greatly increase your chances of retiring on your terms, and living Happily Ever After.

Book excerpt: RETIREMENT IS NO LONGER THE STORY OF OLD AGE. IT IS THE STORY OF LONG LIFE. According to US census data, the average person spends nearly twenty years in the post-career phase of their lives. Luckily for those currently entering this phase, the traditional concept of retirement is quickly becoming outdated. We are at the dawn of the anti-retirement movement-a movement that assumes participants bring the same energy and enthusiasm to their post-career life that they brought to their career. But every movement needs leaders, and the anti-retirement movement is finding two of its leaders in authors Patti and Milledge Hart. In The Resolutionist, Patti and Milledge identify twelve resolutions that can provide a framework for your continued growth, engagement, and adventure after you've left the workplace. Using examples from their own sometimes-bumpy journey from C-suite executive to a relevant and fulfilling anti-retirement life, Patti and Milledge suggest options for how to invest your resources-time, energy, wisdom, finances-to find your passions, develop new metrics for success, and surround yourself with kindred spirits. You'll walk away from this book enthusiastic about becoming a Resolutionist and inspired to make the next phase the best phase of your life. Welcome to the anti-retirement movement!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethical sustainability utilizes sympathy and compassion in examining the living conditions of all species and the environment, and determines culture and laws via the unpersecuted popular vote, so that all of society advances together in unison with less strife. Ethical solutions are constantly needed to be examined and voted upon because almost all people have changing opinions as they grow older and become more educated with knowledge and compassion of suffering. Some ideas and solutions discussed, are a sustainable government foundation of socio-economics that supports all people human-rights and basic needs at the lowest cost, so that capitalism can attempt to gain profit margins for those who work harder and smarter to deserve more benefits of society, a 100% secure stock index retirement pension plan, affordable health-care for all, a positive cultural mindset for a healthy ethical humanity, renewable energy from every building, positive and ethical population control of equality birth-rights per person l, so as to preserve individual constitutional freedoms with abundant land-space for all individuals, society, and wild-life, garden nature centers in every County to end hunger, durable homeless tiny-home solutions, crime prevention with new technologies available to every jury based court case with an appeal process that extends up to the highest court, ethical community centers that also incorporate ethical education for business contract license certification, a clean natural environment, and all societal issues that the good-will of the people ethically determine. I support ethical laws that maximize individual freedoms without unethically inhibiting other individuals, and or society, in a government structure that maintains a forever socio-economic shape regardless of depression or expansion.

On March 22, 2011, Tony’s mother tragically took her own life. After this life-changing tragedy, Tony made it his goal to help pre-retirees not repeat the mistakes his mom made as she transitioned from her career into retirement.

Download or read book For the People For the Country written by John A. Ragosta and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2023-08-17 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1799, at the behest of President George Washington, Patrick Henry came out of retirement to defend the Constitution that he had once opposed and to thwart Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, whom Washington accused of putting party over country and threatening the fragile union. For the People, For the Country tells the remarkable story of how the most eloquent public speaker of the American Revolutionary era and a leading antifederalist during debates over ratification of the Constitution reemerged on the side of the federalists and once again changed history. Much more than a fire-breathing demagogue, the Patrick Henry we encounter here comes to life as a principled leader of the young nation who believed above all in working with a government elected by the people, advocating for political change in "a constitutional way"—at the ballot box. A gripping narrative, this book will change long-held views of this great Founding Father.
