Book excerpt: What is your definition of a fulfilling life and how does an enjoyable retirement fit into that vision? Life is short; we have a limited time to choose our path, reach or dreams and goals and make our lives gratifying and our legacy everlasting.I wrote The Art of Retirement to serve as a guide; a book to help you with your life's journey by educating and inspiring you to make the most of your time on this planet or as Ronnie Lott would say, "Exhaust life." Retirement planning is much more than making sure you have enough money. Of course this is important and thoroughly discussed; certainly the security and lifestyle that money provides is a key part of your life. However, the financial aspect of planning your retirement is just part of the picture.Life is like art in many respects. It is unique to each one of us. It has the opportunity to be great as well as the potential for less-then-desired results. Like a sculpture, it can be molded and changed. Or like a painter standing in front of a blank canvas, the future is limited only by creativity and resources--whether that is money or the number of colors available for your palette.In keeping with the art metaphor, I have woven the story of Michelangelo's life and art into The Art of Retirement to help you create your own life's masterpiece. As you read this book and begin the process of creating your masterpiece, you will:* Gain perspective on what you value. I will share the story of my dear friend and former NFL player, O.J. Brigance, and his battle with ALS to help you gain perspective and appreciate even with adversity (i.e. poor health, poor investment performance, unable to save enough, etc.) you can still strive to achieve the most rewarding life given your circumstances.* Understand how your emotions (and decisions) can be impacted by our 24/7 access to financial news through broadcast media, print media, and the Internet. Being armed with knowledge of behavioral finance will allow you to avoid costly mistakes due to how our brain deals with money and financial issues.* Be inspired by real-life stories of people: o Who turned hobbies into second careers o Who used the skill set they learned in the business world to improve a non-profit organization o Who used their unique skills from their occupation (i.e., eye doctor) to help those less fortunate around the world* Learn the difference between planning retirement haphazardly without a plan, using rules-of-thumb, or using financial planning software to analyze retirement needs to compare to your resources.* How to accurately determine your risk tolerance and capacity, the most important and first step to building an investment portfolio.* Gain perspective of how investments behave while understanding current and potential future economic trends that may affect the traditional approaches of investment management.* Learn when active vs. passive management may be the best investment solution and how to implement alternative investments, such as hedge funds and private equity, to potentially minimize risk through diversification while increasing investment performance.* Introspectively look at your life to determine if you have the time, training and temperament to manage your own investments and plan for your retirement.* Appreciate the differences among the multitude of advisors and how to select a competent one that can become your trusted partner.Through the lens of both my personal life and experiences--raised by my father and growing up in a blue collar, welfare-dependent home--and through my occupation as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER(tm) practitioner, I will share my experience and knowledge to help you enjoy a beautiful life and create a legacy that stands the test of time--a Masterpiece!

Download or read book Zen and the Art of Retirement written by Louis Gonzales and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone wants to live a long time, but no one wants to get old. Gonzo Rajneesh (nom de plume) is a retired educator and Life Coach. As a former CEO of several non-profit urban organizations in the West and Midwest, he left the corporate world in 1996 and as a freshly-minted retiree began developing retirement strategies for men (and women with balls) transitioning to retirement on how to get the most they can out of life in a highly technological world and an economy that is circling the toilet bowl. Gonzo uses his direct, tongue-in-cheek, streetwise Zen style of "It is what it is," and his karmic "Shit happens" in challenging male assumptions about aging and helping you discover who you really are and where you want to go next in your last one-third of your life. Gonzo Rajneesh has a knack for saying wise things in humorous ways. Men, especially, are especially challenged in getting their new adventure in order and Zen and the Art of Retirement does just that. You will find this little book, helpful, fun, and funny. Buy this book as a gift for your guy or for yourself. This is your final boarding call and this new adventure requires only one carry-on bag. Toss that remote into the dumpster, close that laptop, and get off that couch. This is your final boarding call.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people, retirement represents crossing the finish line, the culmination of a long career. Yet in reality, retirement is not so much an ending as it is a beginning-the beginning of a stage that requires careful planning and consideration beyond financial concerns. If you think getting ready for retirement simply involves saving enough money, perhaps it's time to reconsider and let The Art of Retiring Whole open your eyes to the wide range of issues faced by retirees today. Improvements in health care mean that many folks live another twenty or thirty years after retirement. So beyond the month-long cruise that you're planning, how will you meaningfully fill your days? Financial advisor and retirement expert Ryan S. Kidd will help you navigate this question and others, guiding you through the process of assessing your "retirement readiness" and helping you make sure you've adequately planned for the non-financial aspects of your future. So whether you're a few months or several years away from the golden years of retirement, decide to prepare for a future in which you're not only financially secure but also wonderfully fulfilled in your relationships, community involvement, and personal identity.

Download or read book The Buckets of Money Retirement Solution written by Raymond J. Lucia and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-08-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investors, shell-shocked by the "Great Recession" of 2008-2009, are looking for answers, for something fresher than the old 'buy-and-hold' mantra. They hunger for stability, yet yearn for growth to rejuvenate their battered portfolios. Ray Lucia's The Buckets of Money Retirement Solution: The Ultimate Guide to Income for Life provides just that—a reassuring and scientifically proven strategy that gives investors both growth and income. Lucia, a Certified Financial Planner who's helped thousands of people invest more than $2 billion, explains how to spend down 'safe' buckets (containing, for example, Treasuries, CDs, bonds), while leaving a riskier bucket (real estate, stocks and alternative investments) to grow long-term. This strategy shields investors from the short-term ups and downs of the market. And it gives them the courage and discipline to stay invested no matter what the future holds. Written in a breezy, accessible style and loaded with tons of examples and clear, specific calculations, the book explains how to set your financial goals, divvy up your money accordingly, and then invest intelligently. With this book as your guide, readers will learn how to achieve both income and growth while at the same time reducing risk. "All in all," Lucia writes, "this plan is akin to a sports car that seats six, approximating the best of both worlds. In this case by being a conservative strategy that’s also growth-oriented." Almost every kind of investment—stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate—plunged in the past year or two, turning off millions of investors who'd been planning for and counting on a reasonably comfortable retirement. These retirees or near-retirees need solutions ... something fresher than the old 'buy-and-hold' mantra. Yet here's what they hear from the financial-services industry: Set up an asset-allocation model, then take a systematic withdrawal to support your retirement ... remembering, of course, to rebalance the accounts to remain in sync with the model. Wrong! That maximizes the advisors' fees but doesn't protect the investors' assets during the tough times.
