We all dream about retirement, but surveys show that most Canadians are very concerned about it. How big a nest egg will I need? How long will I have to work? How much can I afford to draw from my portfolio every year? What''s the impact of taking CPP early or late? Can I achieve my retirement dreams given my financial reality? So many complex, interconnected questions . . . and too many fragmented, conflicting answers. The media and financial institutions bombard us with information and advice, but it often comes at us in bits and pieces and much of it is contradictory. It''s hard to make sense of it all, to see how it relates to your situation, and to see your own complete financial picture in all the piecemeal advice. Written by an award-winning financial journalist, this book is your frank and trusted guide to the often confusing world of retirement planning. Covers the major financial questions you''re most likely wrestling with. Cuts through the noise to provide clear explanations and sensible strategies. Assesses the pros and cons of your options to help you make decisions that are right for you. Shows you how to fit the major pieces together to plan for a comfortable and sustainable retirement, no matter how much money you have. This book will help you: answer the big, burning financial questions that keep you up at night; achieve concrete and practical solutions; and find the peace of mind to live out your retirement dreams with confidence. "This is a useful, well-written book... Dave asks the right questions, then he provides clear, thoughtful answers. He avoids conventional wisdom that is often conventional but seldom wise. His message is positive: most Canadians can, by applying themselves and acting responsibly, find a path to a comfortable, rewarding retirement. Then he takes your hand and leads you there." - Malcolm Hamilton, retired actuary and senior fellow with the CD Howe Institute "In a perilous sea of financial misinformation, fluff and hype, David Aston''s book is a much-needed lifeboat. He understands personal finance better than most of the so-called experts and provides clear, useful advice you can take to the bank." - Duncan Hood, business editor at the Toronto Star and former MoneySense editor "David Aston''s new book provides well-researched answers to the 12 biggest financial questions most will face, whether decades from retirement or already there. Destined to be a well-thumbed reference book in every retiree''s personal library, and those who hope one day to be retired." - Jonathan Chevreau, Financial Independence Hub, author of Findependence Day, co-author of Victory Lap Retirement "Everyone should have a simple retirement plan they can stick to. The book shows how everyone can maximize retirement strategies and income flows to achieve the ideal retirement they aspire to even on the most modest of incomes." - Julie Cazzin, Executive Editor at MoneySense.ca and author of MoneySense''s Family Profile feature from 1999 to 2018 "David shares common-sense retirement strategies for average Canadians. Knowledge is power for retirees and David shares it in a way that can help everyone sleep well at night." - Jason Heath managing director of Objective Financial Partners Inc., a firm of fee-for-service financial planners based in the Toronto area, and a personal finance columnist for the Financial Post and MoneySense.ca

Book excerpt: I threw my neck out in the middle of Swan Lake last night. So begins the tale of Kate Crane, a soloist in a celebrated New York City ballet company who is struggling to keep her place in a very demanding world. At every turn she is haunted by her close relationship with her younger sister, Gwen, a fellow company dancer whose career quickly surpassed Kate’s, but who has recently suffered a breakdown and returned home. Alone for the first time in her life, Kate is anxious and full of guilt about the role she may have played in her sister’s collapse.

Funny, dark, intimate, and unflinchingly honest, The Cranes Dance is a book that pulls back the curtains to reveal the private lives of dancers and explores the complicated bond between sisters.

Download or read book The Dancers Body Book written by Allegra Kent and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ballet dancers have the strongest, most beautiful, probably the most envied bodies in the world. How do they stay slender and willowy while maintaining the extraordinary energy it takes to perform night after night? Can a nondancer or an amateur attain a dancer's figure and a dancer's vitality? And keep it? Here, in The Dancers' Body Book, the legendary ballerina Allegra Kent discloses the health, weight-watching, and relaxation secrets of some of the world's greatest ballet dancers -- from Suzanne Farrell and Fernando Bujones to Darci Kistler and Madame Alexandra Danilova. Combining them with two well-balanced diets -- one to lose weight by and one to live by -- and an exercise regimen that can be tailored to the individual, she provides a fabulous fitness program for everyone who longs to be slimmer, healthier, and more energetic. Fourteen varied menus incorporate delicious recipes from the dancers themselves (such as Jacques D'Amboise's Wonderful Dinner Salad and Dierdre Carberry's Almond Meringue Kisses), along with calorie guides and advice on how to create additional menus using your own favorite dishes. Helpful discussions on sports and exercise systems -- ranging from jogging and swimming to the sophisticated "Pilates" workout -- are also included, and in a special chapter entitled "A Healthy Outlook," the dancers talk candidly on such issues as smoking, anorexia, vitamins, doctors, massage, junk foods, fad diets, and injuries. Dancers take meticulous care of all their equipment because training and performance depend on it. Of course, the most essential piece of equipment, the body, needs the most care of all, and that is what this book is about: how to take care of the world's greatest machine. Allegra Kent joined the New York City Ballet at the age of fifteen and was a principal dancer with the company for thirty years, during which time she created a number of starring roles in ballets by Balanchine and Robbins. The mother of two daughters and a son, she is also the author of Allegra Kent's Water Beauty Book.
