Book excerpt: The 800 years of scientific breakthroughs that will help salvage your retirement plans Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Biology; every field has its intellectual giants who made breakthrough discoveries that changed the course of history. What about the topic of retirement planning? Is it a science? Or is retirement income planning just a collection of rules-of-thumb, financial products and sales pitches? In The 7 Most Important Equations for Your Retirement...And the Stories Behind Them Moshe Milevsky argues that twenty first century retirement income planning is indeed a science and has its foundations in the work of great sages who made conceptual and controversial breakthroughs over the last eight centuries. In the book Milevsky highlights the work of seven scholars—summarized by seven equations—who shaped all modern retirement calculations. He tells the stories of Leonardo Fibonnaci the Italian businessman; Benjamin Gompertz the gentleman actuary; Edmund Halley the astronomer; Irving Fisher the stock jock; Paul Samuelson the economic guru; Solomon Heubner the insurance and marketing visionary, and Andrey Kolmogorov the Russian mathematical genius—all giants in their respective fields who collectively laid the foundations for modern retirement income planning. With baby boomers starting to hit retirement age, planning for retirement income has become a hot topic across the country Author Moshe Milevsky is an internationally-respected financial expert with the knowledge you need to assess whether you are ready to retire or not Presents an entertaining, informative narrative approach to financial planning Understanding the ideas behind these seven foundation equations—which Moshe Milevsky explains in a manner that everyone can appreciate—will help baby boomers better prepare for retirement. This is a book unlike anything you have ever read on retirement planning. Think Suze Orman meets Stephen Hawking. If you ever wondered what the point of all that high school mathematics was, Moshe Milevsky's answer is: So that you can figure out how to retire...while you can still enjoy your money.

Download or read book Retire on Your Own Terms written by Usiere Uko and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-10 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can retire when you want to and at the income level you desire. I did exactly that at age 47. I did not be a financial guru to do that. I followed simple personal financial guidelines by taking control of my finances.Leaving your pension in the hands of others is an industrial age plan. While it is still useful, forces outside your control can leave you stranded in old age. Market conditions can negatively impact your retirement fund and deliver less than promised in the brochures. Defined benefit pension plans are no longer sustainable and are easily negatively impacted by the employer's continued ability to fund it. An employer in financial difficulties can change the rules in the middle of the game, leaving you exposed when you least expected it.If you want to retire on your own terms, you need to first of all take charge of your finances. Rather than depending on the actions of others to secure your financial future, you need to achieve financial independence and determine how much you want to be earning when you retire. This does not mean you should abandon your pension funds. It simply means you plan your future based on a plan you have control over, while your pension becomes a second layer of protection.The best way to make it happen is to take action immediately, as in yesterday.
