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.
