Book description
A timely guide to overcoming the retirement challenges we all face
The Great Recession has placed a wake-up call to America's baby
boomers. Many have not saved enough for retirement and have not taken
a hard look at how many post-work years they may need to finance.
Written in a straightforward and accessible style, The Hard Times
Guide to Retirement Security tackles the tough questions about
retirement in the new post-crash economy. Page by page, it puts
retirement in perspective by touching on important issues such as
insuring against the risk of outliving your assets, recalibrating
damaged retirement portfolios, managing the risk of health-care
expenses in retirement, and career strategies for workers who are 50
years old and up.
- Reveals how to boost lifetime income through better planning,
and working just a few additional years
- Offers advice on how to hire a financial advisor whose first
loyalty is to you, not Wall Street
- Discusses why you should rethink housing in the wake of the real
estate crash
- Offers detailed advice on career reinvention, the 50+ job market
and midlife entrepreneurship
Engaging and informative, this practical guide provides the
strategies needed for a truly fulfilling and secure retirement.
