How Do I Get There from Here?: Planning for Retirement When the Old Rules No Longer Apply
Autor George Schofielden Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 aug 2017
Not long ago everyone knew what the word retirement meant--retire at age 65 after 40 years at the same job and coast through your golden years courtesy of a comfortable nest egg. But now, age expectancy is higher, savings are slimmer, and people change jobs more frequently. Clinging to this outdated concept of retirement only gets you a room in your kids’ house. Your retirement is going to require an incremental approach to planning--and you must begin now. This requires conscious engagement, diverse interests, and the ability to adapt.
In How Do I Get There from Here?, readers will first be directed how to review all their assets--both tangible and intangible--so they can get an honest assessment of where they are right now. Then a journey through self-reflective questions and exercises will:
- walk you through imagining your future,
- identifying skills you’ll need,
- and learning how to prepare for inevitable twists and turns along the way.
