“Discover the secret to enjoying your golden years free of fears and
worries – retire with confidence in just 7 steps!
After years – or even decades – of relentlessly working, you’re almost
ready to trade in your work chair for a beach chair.
You imagine yourself trotting along a picturesque town with your
friends… instead of running around the office.
Right now, it's really tempting to think about retirement as a
never-ending holiday, where you’re finally allowed to rest and relax without
having to deal with deadlines, a full email inbox, or stressful colleagues.
But here’s a reality check: If you took a look at your bank account
right now, would you have enough to have that dreamy permanent vacation… or
maybe a bad dream?
The truth is, nearly half of adults approaching retirement age may not
be financially prepared to retire, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The good news is, you don’t have to be one of them. Whether you're
just beginning to plan for retirement or are closer to embarking on this new
chapter of your life, you can act now to turn your retirement dreams into a
reality.”

Appraisal:
I’ll start this out with the statement that I wish I’d read this book
many years ago. Given my current age and likely retirement age, I should have
gotten this information from somewhere a long time ago. (From this book would
have been perfect, except it didn’t exist until more recently.) That said,
there is a ton of information here that is and will continue to be valuable to
me. The subjects covered in this book include the obvious, specifically the
financial issues surrounding retirement, but also some of the other less
obvious issues, what I’ll describe as the mental roadblocks and mental
adjustments you’ll need to prepare for and work through. Some, I’d thought of,
but this has got me thinking of others. I suspect many who, like me, are close
to retirement, could benefit from reading this too. The downside is that you’re
liable to stress out if you realize you aren’t as prepared in some ways as you
thought you were, but better to adjust plans now if needed.
