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critical question; If you need or want to spend more than your retirement income, how much savings could be safely withdrawn each year so that you do not outlive your savings?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.

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.

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.

Wallet Activism challenges you to rethink your financial power so can feel confident spending, earning, and saving money in ways that align with your values. While we call the American system a democracy, capitalism is the far more powerful force in our lives. The greatest power we have—especially when political leaders won’t move quickly enough—is how we use our money: where we shop, what we buy, where we live, what institutions we entrust with our money, who we work for, and where we donate determines the trajectory of our society and our planet. While our votes and voices are essential, too, Wallet Activism helps you use your money for real impact. It can feel overwhelming to determine “the right way” to spend: a choice that might seem beneficial to the environment may have unintended consequences that hurt people. And marketers are constantly lying to you, making it hard to know what choice is best. Wallet Activism empowers us to vote with our wallets by making sense of all the information coming at us, and teaching us to cultivate a more holistic mindset that considers the complex, interrelated ecosystems of people and the planet together, not as opposing forces. From Tanja Hester, Our Next Life blogger and author of Work Optional, comes the mindset-shifting guide to help you put your money where your values are. Wallet Activism is not a list of dos and don’ts that will soon become outdated, nor does it call for anti-consumerist perfection. Instead, it goes beyond simple purchasing decisions to explore: The impacts a financial decision can have across society and the environment How to create a personal spending philosophy based on your values Practical questions to quickly assess the “goodness” of a product or an entity you may buy from The ethics of earning money, choosing what foods to eat, employing others, investing responsibly, choosing where to live, and giving money away For anyone interested in leaving the world better than you found it, Wallet Activism helps you build habits that will make your money matter.

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
