Retire Happy: What You Can Do Now to Guarantee a Great Retirement is April eBook of the Month
DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 31 March, 2008 -- When planning for retirement, it’s easy to become preoccupied with stock portfolios, 401(k) balances and doomsday predictions about baby boomer’s lack of savings. But happiness in retirement isn’t about how much cash you can manage to sock away before the age of 65. Everyone wants a comfortable retirement—but most also plan to have some fun, maintain an active social life, and enjoy a healthy old age.
In Retire Happy: What You Can Do Now to Guarantee a Great Retirement, author Rich Stim shows readers how to become rich in the ways that matter most. He encourages future retirees to balance financial concerns with an enriching lifestyle.
“Don’t fall for the retirement industry scare stories or calculations about how much you’ll need to retire safely,” he advises. Instead, Stim instructs readers on how to estimate real retirement needs and create a workable savings and investment plan. Even more important, he advises readers to make personal preparations for life after work, including:
• cultivating interests outside work
• leading a healthier lifestyle
• revitalizing family relationships
• spending more time with spouses
• embracing spirituality or meditation
• nurturing friendships and making new friends
Retire Happy helps readers prepare for retirement—not just financially, but in every aspect of their lives.
