Book excerpt: Do you believe you can live well today and still prepare for the retirement you envision? Sadly, many people don't believe this is possible. The idea of retirement planning is so overwhelming that they put it off or take a misguided approach based on investments, not their personal vision and dreams. It doesn't have to be this way. You can enjoy today and retire to the life of your dreams using an innovative process that, up until now, only a select few had access to. With Ultimate Vacation, Randy Carver shares the Personal Vision Planning(R) process that he and his team have developed and refined to help thousands of clients maintain and advance their standard of living. You'll learn how to define what's important today and create a vision for what the future looks like. Retirement wasn't meant to involve stress or worry about running out of money. With Randy's guidance, you'll come away with a clear understanding of what you want in retirement and exactly how to get it.

Book Rightsize Today to Create Your Best Life Tomorrow

Download or read book Rightsize Today to Create Your Best Life Tomorrow written by Marni Jameson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gentle guide for helping readers “over a certain age” discover their best life by finding the right-sized home in the best location. Moving is no fun. Neither is getting rid of stuff. And both jobs get harder as we get older. So, when those over a certain age — say, in the last third of life — are looking to downsize and move all at the same time, many will conclude, “I’ll just stay put, thank you very much.” It’s not just the acquired possessions holding them back, but also the intangibles. Their memories, their family history, their identities are all in jeopardy, they think. And yet, that reluctance to lighten up, let go, and move on is commonly all that stands between them and a better life. Rightsize Today to Create Your Best Life Tomorrow will help this group of root-bound home dwellers cross the bridge between stuck in the past and a lighter, better future. It will encourage them to embrace the fact that now, when they’re no longer tethered to a school system or to a job they need to be near, is their chance to live where they want to live. Every section contains checklists: some soul-searching (should you or shouldn’t you move?), some practical (what every kitchen must have), and some logistical (where’s your happy place?), to help readers on their journey. Included are enlightening profiles of those who proactively changed their housing in the last third of their life. Whether they moved to a smaller place, remodeled their existing home, or even moved to a larger home, which one third do; whether they moved to a new city, to a senior community, or to a new home in the same neighborhood, they all reimagined their lives, re-evaluated their belongings and made a move toward a better and possibly their best life yet. To live your best life now requires an honest appraisal of who you are and who you’re becoming, where you are in your life and where you’re going or want to go. This book is designed to help those who are stuck explore what’s holding them back, and provide them with the insights, experiences, and courage to move forward.

Book Rock Retirement

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

Book excerpt: Social media is as a big of a paradigm shift for the financial services industry as the internet was. On the one hand we have some advisors jumping into Social Media initiatives with such things as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter without any defined purpose, strategy or real understanding of the media. Conversely a financial services firm, or practitioner, who avoids social media does so at their own risk. This book will help you understand Social Media and web 2.0 strategies so that you can make an informed decision on how to effectively use the technology. Even if you do not feel that your business needs to utilize these tools it is critical to be aware of what they are and how they work as these forms of communication become the norm from cradle to grave and womb to boardroom much like email has. Facebook, Twitter, Blogs and LinkedIn are no longer ?Çÿteenage fads but are being used day in and day out by most of your clients, employees and vendors. Gaining a basic understanding of these technologies, how they work and what they can be used for is critical to your success if not you viability in the future. Even if you personally decide that the use of social media is not for you this book will serve as a basic reference. Co-written by a top producing financial advisor and a social media expert this book is for those in the financial services industry but will serve as a guide to anyone who is interested in social media as a marketing an communications tool.Cidney Carver- held several high profile internships related to Social Media, served as Chief of Content for Erik Qualman (Socialnomics) and had several articles published on the topic of Social Media all before graduating from Suffolk University with a degree in Public Relations in 2011.

This is not a new phenomenon though, mind you. Americans have been retiring overseas to stretch their money for decades. The reason why? Well, it makes economic sense. Many have scrimped and saved for decades in the hopes of retiring on some beach front paradise, making up for all those years of living frugally. But with the lingering effects of the Global Economic Crisis, however, leaving America is no longer a choice for many senior citizens. It's become a necessity. Whether you are of retirement age, or find yourself creeping closer to it with a shrinking pocket, do not despair. But before you pack your bags, understand that this is not a vacation we're talking about here. It's retirement. This book will therefore help you discover the best countries where the standard of living is good to fantastic, and yet where the US dollar goes far. It will also explain what you need to consider before you start packing your bags, and what to expect when you get there. Let's get started!

Book excerpt: If you're itching to retire without a huge bankroll, Steven Young offers numerous low-cost options that will help you reach your goal--the majority of which will find you happily drifting off the beaten path.

But more adventurous souls will find plenty of "thinking out of the box" unique ideas to act upon--including pre-retirement planning and strategies for generating enough money to live comfortably during retirement. Young encourages his readers to abandon the American lifestyle and continual quest for obtaining the latest and greatest in material possessions. He encourages deep reflection on the things in life that really matter and what one must sacrifice in order to obtain them. After pointing out the pros and cons of retiring in various American urban and rural settings, Young explores low-cost retirement options in a wide range of countries, with specific advice on how to frugally achieve a high quality of life in each country. It takes a little courage to make the changes Young suggests and you must be willing to step out of your comfort zone until you are happily settled in your new location. For those readers who are motivated to embrace a dramatic shift in location and lifestyle, Young says that there's no time like the present to start living your retirement dream, without spending a fortune. You can make it happen, regardless of how great or how unfortunate your present situation might be.

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.
