About this listen
Finally, discover the answers to your most pressing retirement questions.
When it comes to retirement, most people have some idea of what to expect. Once you stop working, you'll find yourself with more free time to pursue your passions, but you'll also be facing life on a fixed income.
But is that all there is to it?
According to the American College of Financial Services, nearly 7 in 10 Americans don't have a written retirement plan - which is like having no plan at all.
Having an idea of what you want from retirement is a crucial first step, but have you taken the time to consider every aspect?
When you get down to it, retirement is so much more than making sure you have enough to live on. It's a social, emotional, and mental experience that totally changes your way of life.
With so much importance placed on being appropriately prepared for this next stage, it's no wonder that many people feel lost or frustrated with their attempts to plan ahead.
It feels as if everyone has a different opinion on what's best and where you should be devoting your time and attention.
C.B. McGee knows how you feel. As an early retiree, he's followed the path that now lies ahead of you. Having navigated budgeting, travel, returning to work, and discovering his passions, he's now compiled all the information you'll need in this one simple guide.
In The Baby Boomer's Guide to Surviving Retirement, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:
- Practical advice for overcoming the most common retirement challenges, like loneliness and financial woes
- Why having a sense of purpose is so vital to creating a successful and fulfilling retirement experience, and how you can discover your own passions
- The 6 biggest factors that affect healthcare costs and what you can do to make them work for you
- How to prevent feelings of isolation and stay connected with your friends and family, even after you leave your working environment

The crisis of unfulfilled lives unfolds gradually, often with acquiesced boredom and a flimsy search for purpose. Our relevancy comes into question, or we succumb to the idea that the future will be one of slow-moving ambition and then an even slower glide into comfort as the flush of freedom fades. We can change this outcome if we want to. We should want to. The 60-Something Crisis: How to Live an Extraordinary Life in Retirement is the first book to circumvent the tired approaches of finding purpose, or using reinvention to discover a path of fulfillment after sixty.

Story
We are seeing more women in the workforce than ever before, but despite reaching high-paying successful positions, women struggle with growing their wealth and maintaining finances. Most of the time, this struggle stems not from the inability to monitor and budget the money; rather, it originates from the lack of education and recourses that are available for young women or women in general. For some, financial education might be Everest, but even the most dangerous mountains can be conquered with the right information, patience, and resilience.

Investing in your future is easier than you think—discover how and achieve financial security more quickly than you can possibly imagine. Young adults are especially financially vulnerable because they’re just starting out, want a lot of “stuff,” and are not earning the big bucks yet. So, they’re borrowing too much and saving too little (if at all), and they’re in a financial mess. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Instead, imagine a life where you have peace of mind, because your financial affairs are in order, and you’re on the right path to building wealth.

This is not a reality reserved solely for those who have very wealthy parents. You can achieve financial success even while in school, and can carry this forward with you throughout the rest of your life.
