Today "retirement" is a series of multi-year "phases". The challenge is to successfully transition from one phase to another. 2. Adding to this complexity is the fact that each spouse may retire in a different way and at different times. 3. To Master Your Retirement you need to find solid solutions to three common questions: - Will I have enough income? -Can I do the things I want to do? -If something unexpected occurs, will I be okay? KEY BENEFITS FOR AUDIENCE? This book will help people of all ages understand how to invest their money for peace of mind in the future. Specifically you will learn the answers to these questions: - What risks will I face throughout retirement? -How can I prepare and protect myself? -How much income and capital does it take to get the most of my retirement?
