Synopsis

Retiring?: Your Next Chapter Is About Much More Than Money is a practical, concise, and encouraging guidebook specifically written to help you understand and plan for the profound, inescapable non-financial challenges that retirement brings. Today a successful retirement requires much more than financial planning. Retirement triggers profound changes—in the rhythm of your life, in your relationships with family and friends, in your identity. Every individual’s retirement is unique and you need to prepare for these vitally important non-financial challenges. Our goal is to inspire you to do the planning essential for a satisfying, meaningful next chapter.” Retiring? provides straight-forward, “non-preachy” guidance to help you comfortably focus on key questions—When to retire? Where to live? What will you do with your time? Similarly, you need to think through how you will take care of your body, your mind, your heart and your soul. Questions are clearly explained and accompanied with realistic suggestions, sources of additional help and examples of others’ experiences. Originally written for those approaching retirement, this guidebook has been enthusiastically welcomed by both already-retired listeners wrestling with these challenges and, as well, family members and friends eager to help. This book shows how thoughtful planning now dramatically improves your prospects for a happy and fulfilling next chapter. This book is masterfully read by Scott Pollak. ©2011 R. Bruce Hiland, Edward E. Kaufman. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont

If you are into that sort of thing, I think this can be an good read for someone who wants to plan out their transition into retirement and are receptive to their ideas about how to get more from your time in retirement. Useful for pointing out that the......more

Helpful I think what I liked best about the book are the questions at the end because they really got you to think about your own personal retirement. How is my health, is it really worth it to work 1 or 2 more years. What would I like to do in retirement, are there any relationships that I would lik......more

Goodreads review by Rick on March 17, 2022

Most people make financial plans for retirement & that is critical to retiring comfortably. Many do not spend enough time emotionally preparing for retirement. When we retire, life changes in many ways. I for one, and like many, have drawn a lot of my identity from my work. Well, what happens when w......more

Goodreads review by Sue on December 08, 2022

I guess I was not the target audience of this book, they do preface it with the statements that they can not speak for women and I guess that’s what I felt here. I am a boomer professional woman with 41+ years in frontline healthcare, I’ve had to incorporate many of the suggestions given here for re......more
