The Practical Guide to Retirement Planning
Smart Strategies and Tips to Increase Savings, Diversify Investments, and Plan For Income Stability–Even If You’re Starting Late
Sage Lifestyle Press
Retirement is meant to be enjoyed, but without the right strategies, you could miss out on the money to do that!
Are you ready for retirement?
You might think you’ve done enough… You’ve been feeding your 401(k) and topping up your savings… But do you really know if what you have is sufficient?
Do you know where the gaps in your planning are?
Even if you’ve planned early, there’s likely something you’ve missed.
From securing healthcare funds to setting up tax-efficient withdrawal strategies and accounting for life changes, there’s a lot to think about… and simply nurturing your savings isn’t enough.
Right now, you’re probably shaping your plans around the basics, and that’s a good start… but it won’t ensure you’re making your money grow and paving the way for the freedom and peace of mind you dream of for your retirement.
What you need is a comprehensive blueprint outlining all the strategies you have at your disposal—strategies you likely had no idea you could implement… and this practical guide to planning for a secure and fulfilling retirement will show you all of them.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- Perhaps you think it’s too early to worry about this… Or maybe you think you’re already covered…
- But unless you’ve delved into every element of retirement planning, you could be missing out on the money that will allow you total peace of mind when you finally close that office door for the last time.
- Retirement planning isn’t something you can just quickly tick off the list: It requires careful thought and an understanding of the techniques you can use to maximize your money… and you’re about to get your hands on them all!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
