Essential Retirement Planning for Solo Agers by Sara Zeff Geber Pdf

A practical yet humorous guide to aging solo gracefully and achieving a happy retirement. In Essential Retirement Planning for Solo Agers, certified retirement coach Sara Zeff Geber coins the term “Solo Ager” to refer to the segment of society that either does not have adult children or is single and believes they will be on their own as they grow older. This book explores the path ahead for this group. That includes choices in housing, relationships, legal arrangements, finances, and more. Geber reviews the role of adult children in an aging parent’s world and suggests ways in which Solo Agers can mitigate the absence of adult children by relationship building and rigorous planning for their future. Geber shares her expertise on what constitutes a fulfilling older life and how Solo Agers can maximize their opportunities for financial security, physical health, meaning and purpose in the second half of life, and, finally, planning for the end game. Through real-life stories and anecdotes, the author explores housing choices, relationships, and building a support system. You will learn about: · different levels of care and independence in various types of living arrangements · how to initiate discussions among friends and relatives about end-of-life treatment · “what if” scenarios · who to talk to about legal and financial decisions And it’s not just the Solo Ager that can learn from this book. Financial advisors, elder law and estate attorneys, senior care managers, and others whose clientele is on the far side of sixty will benefit as well.

Roadmap to Retirement Security by Stephen Butler Pdf

This book won't waste your time. It explains the fundamentals leading to investment success while avoiding the all-too-common "dumbed-down" information that just tells readers what they already know. Sophisticated concepts like "marked-to-market" and "the snapback phenomenon" and "Modern Portfolio Theory" are some of the book's themes that can lead to confidence and success as investors. For retirees, the book's purpose is to provide a do-it-yourself course of action allowing for an "end-run" around the financial services industry with the latter's excessive costs --- costs that eat up what could otherwise have been more retirement income. Knowing how to effectively self-manage assets and implement a mix of cost-effective investments is a critical skill for retirees. Understanding and applying some simple basics will deliver the most on-going income while still combating the disasterous effects of inflation.

Early Retirement: a Roadmap to Success by Joe Thomas Potuzak Sr. Pdf

Having retired early in life at the age of 45, back in the late 80's, has been very advantageous to me. It gave me the time to devote many thousands of hours to this project and it should be very beneficial to you, as a reader. This book illustrates what has worked very profitably for me in the past and continues to work profitably to this day. In this book, there are valuable tips and some good sound financial and fundamental information. As President of three Corporations and three companies, from 1965 to present day, it has kept me quite busy over time. In the 90's, as Owner, Producer, Director, and Host of a popular Radio Travel Show in southwest Florida, I was quite content. At the time, I felt I had done quite a bit in my life, but I also felt one project was missing. I had been asked many times, how I retired so young, and how I achieved my success in life. So one day in 2004, I said to myself why not sit down and write about it, hence this book. I do say at times, I am really in semi-retirement, very busy having fun. This book was written with good intentions, morals, and family values. As you read on, it is for all to enjoy, from ages 9 to 90. Early Retirement: A Road Map to Success is a timeless book.

Your Retirement Roadmap by Donald Eugene Moore Pdf

Problems seem to bother those the least that plan the most... Lying awake nights wondering if you'll run out of money before you run out of breath? That's the reality facing millions of Americans today in a rapidly aging society of economic instability, devastated nest eggs, skyrocketing healthcare costs and plummeting purchasing power. Is it possible to realistically plan for a comfortable retirement in these uncertain times? In a word, yes. Not only is it possible, but that's exactly what this book is about: How to create a retirement plan to support your lifestyle throughout your and your spouse's lives, then distribute your estate to your heirs in the most beneficial and tax-efficient way. Donald Moore, a preeminent retirement planner, has worked with hundreds of clients over many years to chart the right course for each individual and couple to achieve their retirement dreams. A veteran of the industry and one of the most successful retirement planners in the northwest Florida and southwest Alabama area, Moore can help you determine... - Whether or not your assets areproperly positioned - How much capital you'll need to produce a comfortable retirement income - The kinds of savings and investments you'll need to achieve your goals - How much you should set aside each month for savings and investments - The kind of tax-advantaged investments best suited to your needs - The monthly income your family will need in the event of your death - The amount and type of life and disability insurance you need Take heart if you are among the nearly half of American workers today who have never tried to calculate how much money you'll need to live comfortably in retirement.

Retirement Roadmap by Dennis Tubbergen Pdf

What Federal Reserve and Government policies are doing to our economy and financial system is nothing short of alarming, and it will make the ultimate economic and financial destination downright ugly. The Retirement Roadmap is a tool vital for your future financial success. It is my hope that you can digest and fully grasp the new threats you're facing in planning your financial future. If you continue to do things the way that you've always done them and the way that many "Wall Street Only" advisors do things, you may find yourself on the outside looking in.

The Six Million Dollar Retiree by Arthur V. Prosper,Didosphere Pdf

***IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT A STOCK MARKET CRASH, YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK***UPDATE*** Includes information on how the new tax law, the TAX CUTS and JOBS ACT of 2017, PUBLIC LAW 115-97 affects the retirement strategy in this book.*****************************************************************************A healthy and stress-free lifestyle is the best gift you can give to yourself and to your loved ones. What is the point of living longer in retirement if you are in poor health, living in constant pain and you have become a burden to your family? The retirement strategy in this book is a straight-line route towards a six million dollar retirement nest egg. Sufficient retirement savings will minimize your stress, worries and anxieties. Enough money will improve your quality of life in retirement. When you have this amount of money in retirement, you can eschew any of the other investments and retirement schemes financial and retirement planners, insurance agents and annuity salesmen try to sell you. Annuities, permanent life insurance, tax free retirement planning, Medicaid planning, Elder care planning, ILIT, long term care planning, QLAC, Dynasty Trust, J&S Insurance Policy, Family Bank RMD, family foundations, off-shore accounts and other products may not benefit you at all (see the Chapter, INSURANCE POLICY vs. IRA). Do the math like I did in the various charts shown in this book to make sure you understand what you are getting into. The sellers of these products won't even be able to explain them to you in language that you can understand. You will pay them their expensive professional fee and they may not be around in 20 years when you need them. In many cases, what you think you bought is not what they sold you. Many of these insurance products are riddled with fine prints that you will need a lawyer to explain the plans to you and after doing the math you may realize that you would be better off to leave your retirement savings alone, take the RMD, pay the taxes and reinvest the after tax proceeds that you don't need to live on. Your calculation may show, as mine did, that you will leave your heirs more money by following the strategy in this book. I believe "Retirement Planning" is a whole new industry that was created that only a select few actually benefit from. If insurance companies lose money by selling permanent life insurance and annuities, they will ALL be out of business. Follow the steps shown in this book. You and your spouse will have $6 million dollars when you reach full retirement age and you will leave more money to your heirs. What can be simpler than saving $1000 dollars a month inside your retirement account, investing the money wisely so that you will not lose a penny of it, earning 10% annual return, buying your principal residence and collecting SS benefits at the right time? It is time to implement this stress-free game plan while you are still young. When you stop worrying, you start enjoying, you start living. Life is good. Make it even better in retirement!
