Download or read book Harder Working Money written by Jay Leigeber and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 95% of retirement plans are broken-3 things you need to know to fix yours.Less than 5% of Baby Boomers nearing retirement are positioned to fund the lifestyle they desire throughout the remainder of their lives...yet financial freedom is within most people's grasp. Many realize they are not on plan and are fearful they will outlive their retirement savings. If you are in this situation I have a positive message to share. This book advocates a very different approach to funding retirement focused on passive income streams rather than equity accumulation. When you choose to get off the Wall Street roller coaster, your plan can be capitalized in 5-10 years rather than 30-40 that the slow compounding approach requires.The purpose of this book is threefold: To comprehend the benefits of recurring streams of passive income, which fund lifestyle expenses, rather than striving to accumulate a large account balance for retirement. A portfolio of recurring cash flow assets can fully fund your retirement in less than one-third of the time! To discover the power of privately structured investments. You too can participate in advantaged opportunities with greater returns, while at the same time reducing risks, paying lower taxes and fewer fees. Efficiency matters greatly in attaining true prosperity. To clarify how little-known but powerful financial strategies enable you to maximize the efficiency of the money that flows through your life. It's not what you make but what you keep and how fast it grows that really matters. In my experience, these three strategies support people being able to live the lifestyle they desire in the near term, as well as safely funding retirement to maintain that lifestyle as long as they live. Harder Working Money allows stress free living.There is no single perfect investment vehicle or plan that is ideal for everyone, and this book does not promote any single solution. Your best plan must correspond to your personal situation, personality traits and goals. However, once you clearly identify the benefits you are seeking and align the right array of financial vehicles, accomplishing your plan can be much easier, quicker and more certain. This book is about understanding new options that may free you from the bondage of sub-optimal, constrained choices.My definition of financial freedom is all about having the time and resources to enjoy life on your own terms. This does not need to be about accumulating a lot of material things or a huge bank account. Rather, true freedom is enabling the choice of whatever you desire without undue limitation by the cost...because your family is able to afford the choices that bring them true joy.This book is as much about new questions to ask as it is about answers. I believe the quality of questions you ask and the precision of the answers you generate over time will determine your success in achieving prosperity. My attempt is to help you reframe your perspective on achieving financial freedom, so you can develop a personalized plan, and the next decade can be an experience of purposeful growth toward specific ends, rather than floundering in a confusing context.
Download or read book Securing a Retirement Income for Life written by Bill Griffith, Jr. and published by W E Griffith Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much you need to finance your retirement depends on how well you want to live and the expected length of your retirement life. Do you want to maintain or increase your standard of living? Do you want to start a new business, provide financial help to family members or engage in a new hobby or activity? How much you need to accumulate depends on the lifestyle you envision. Securing a Retirement Income for Life will show you how much you need to accumulate to provide a retirement income for life and how to implement the very best strategies for managing, protecting and preserving your wealth. The interactive nature of this new book will show you how to go about planning to meet your retirement needs and objectives and how best to prepare for uncertainties when the future is unknown. For many people, retirement may represent the longest stage of their life. It is a time when they can look forward to a whole new range of exciting challenges and activities - to experience their own vision - with the same passion, excitement and sense of accomplishment they had during the first part of their life. Along with a much longer life, however, comes more complex and much more expensive financial challenges. This book will help you prepare for the many challenges and uncertainties that lie ahead as you approach retirement and during your retirement years, such as the potential risk of outliving your money. The shift away from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans is a trend that has revolutionized retirement planning by placing more of the responsibility for saving on the individual. Since fewer retirees in the future can expect to receive a steady stream of income from employer provided defined benefit plans, individuals will have to rely more on their own resources for a much higher percentage of their retirement income. According to author and Certified Financial Planner practitioner, Bill Griffith, Jr., CFP, "people are faced with having to make serious decisions about how to manage their company retirement plan, how much to contribute, how to invest their money and what to do with their vested balance after they retire." "They need to have a plan based on clear and accurate information to help them make decisions about when to retire, how long they can expect to live in retirement, how much they need to accumulate and how to manage their funds throughout their retirement years." The investment needed to finance retirement depends on an accurate forecast of expenditures and rate of return assumptions well into the future. The uncertainty of traditional return assumptions and rising healthcare costs are both significant risks in retirement and can have a tremendous impact on retirement savings and security. Decisions about when to retire, how long you can expect to live in retirement and how much you need to accumulate are complicated by an ever changing set of circumstances. Throughout this book, the author emphasizes a process-driven approach for facing these and other critical issues in retirement. You will learn about the proper methods for managing retirement funds and how to protect against the risk of funding long-term liabilities. Meeting financial obligations through an investment-based approach is only one part of the process. Securing a Retirement Income for Life will show you how to use a combination of methods to assure that your retirement income will last for life.

Download or read book Retirement Income written by Mark J. Warshawsky and published by Mit Press. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategies, products, and public policies that will help a new generation of retirees maximize income and minimize risk. As members of the baby boom generation head into retirement, they face an economic environment that has changed noticeably since their parents retired. Most of these new retirees will not be equipped, as many in the earlier generation were, with private pension plans, early retirement options, and fully paid retiree health benefits in addition to Social Security and Medicare. Today it is increasingly left to retirees themselves to plan how to maximize retirement income and minimize risk. In Retirement Income, Mark Warshawsky and his colleagues describe strategies, products, and public policies that will help a new generation achieve financial security and income growth in retirement. Warshawsky, a noted expert in the field who has worked in both government and private industry, analyzes two insurance vehicles, life annuities and long-term care insurance, and their capacity to protect against the extra costs arising from longevity and disability. He proposes two innovations. The first is a strategy that includes a set percentage withdrawal from a balanced portfolio, which is gradually used to purchase a ladder of life annuities. The second proposal, which includes a description of the potential choices in product design and available tax characteristics, is a product that integrates the immediate life annuity and long-term care insurance. With Retirement Income, Warshawsky offers practical ideas based on the results of empirical investigations and analyses, which can be applied to household decision making by retirees and their financial planners and to the design of insurance products and public policy.
Download or read book Strengthening Social Protection in East Asia written by Mukul G. Asher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on relatively unexplored areas in pension and health care arrangements, including financing, in East Asia. The book aims to fill the literature gap on social protection in East Asia by covering issues such as pension and health care arrangements in the depopulating high income countries of Japan and Korea; the challenges of the pay-out phase in Defined Contribution (DC) arrangements in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore; and the extension of coverage of social protection schemes in China, India, and Indonesia. It also reviews social protection from a much wider perspective and extends coverage of social protection in terms of both the proportion of the population with access to the social protection scheme and the types of risks faced by the households and by society as a whole. The book also gives attention to reforms of civil service pensions.
Download or read book Aging and the Macroeconomy written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is in the midst of a major demographic shift. In the coming decades, people aged 65 and over will make up an increasingly large percentage of the population: The ratio of people aged 65+ to people aged 20-64 will rise by 80%. This shift is happening for two reasons: people are living longer, and many couples are choosing to have fewer children and to have those children somewhat later in life. The resulting demographic shift will present the nation with economic challenges, both to absorb the costs and to leverage the benefits of an aging population. Aging and the Macroeconomy: Long-Term Implications of an Older Population presents the fundamental factors driving the aging of the U.S. population, as well as its societal implications and likely long-term macroeconomic effects in a global context. The report finds that, while population aging does not pose an insurmountable challenge to the nation, it is imperative that sensible policies are implemented soon to allow companies and households to respond. It offers four practical approaches for preparing resources to support the future consumption of households and for adapting to the new economic landscape.
Download or read book Choice Over Time written by George Loewenstein and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1992-10-27 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of our most urgent national problems suggest a widespread lack of concern for the future. Alarming economic conditions, such as low national savings rates, declining corporate investment in long-term capital projects, and ballooning private and public debt are matched by such social ills as diminished educational achievement, environmental degradation, and high rates of infant mortality, crime, and teenage pregnancy. At the heart of all these troubles lies an important behavioral phenomenon: in the role of consumer, manager, voter, student, or parent, many Americans choose inferior but immediate rewards over greater long-term benefits. Choice Over Time offers a rich sampling of original research on intertemporal choice—how and why people decide between immediate and delayed consequences—from a broad range of theoretical and methodological perspectives in philosophy, political science, psychology, and economics. George Loewenstein, Jon Elster, and their distinguished colleagues review existing theories and forge new approaches to understanding significant questions: Why do people seem to "discount" future benefits? Do individuals use the same decision-making strategy in all aspects of their lives? What part is played by situational factors such as the certainty of delayed consequences? How are decisions affected by personal factors such as willpower and taste? In addressing these issues, the contributors to Choice Over Time address many social, economic, psychological, and personal time problems. Their work demonstrates the predictive power of short-term preferences in behavior as varied as addiction and phobia, the effect of prices on consumption, and the dramatic rise in debt and decline in savings. Choice Over Time provides an essential source for the most recent research and theory on intertemporal choice, offering new models for time preference patterns—and their aberrations—and presenting a diversity of potential solutions to the problem of "temporal myopia."
Download or read book Pension Design and Structure written by Olivia S. Mitchell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-07-15 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employees are being given more and more decisions to make with regards to their pension and healthcare plans. Yet increasing research in the social sciences shows that the decisions 'real' people make are not those of the thoughtful and well-informed economic agent often portrayed in economic research, but are often based on flawed information and made without a full understanding of their financial implications. The contributors to Pension Design and Structure explore theassumptions behind commonly-held theories of retirement decision-making, and the consequences of the growing volume of research in behavioural finance and economics for the field of pension research. Contributors are drawn from a variety of disciplines, and include leading pensions experts.

Download or read book Early Retirement Patterns in Europe written by Trudie Schils and published by Rozenberg Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The research in this dissertation is targeted at revealing the similarities and differences in European early retirement institutions, including unemployment and disability schemes. In addition, using longitudinal data from a large number of European countries, the determinants of early retirement decisions are analysed empirically and the role played by institutions is surveyed. This research shows that both less tight entitlement conditions and high generosity of early retirement schemes exert a disincentive effect on staying in work for the older worker."--Back page.
