By Mitch Anthony | | Sipping martinis and playing golf may be your dream of an ideal retirement, but chances are that's not where you'll end up. Because your retirement may span 30 years or longer, endless days of leisure can quickly lead to boredom, depression and discontent. What is appealing to most of us is a life of fulfillment and purpose, one in which "retirement" plays an important role-the passage from one stage of life to another. The New Retirementality is the ability to achieve the freedom to pursue your own goals, at your own pace, on your own terms...regardless of your age. In this newly revised second edition of the book that defined what retirement will look like in the future, you will learn how to retire on purpose, with purpose - and change your life.

The Number: A Completely Different Way |
to Think about the Rest of Your Life By Lee Eisenberg | | "The Number" is the amount of money you need to have socked away in order to be confident that your postretirement life will meet your expectations. Everyone's Number is different – and while it is important to save enough to last – Eisenberg says Americans need to also determine how they want the rest of their life to look. “It’s not just ‘how much’ but ‘what for’" he says. He provides a charmingly written consideration of an aging generation's retirement worries and of the investment business designed to profit from them. Heartfelt discussions of goals, health and health care, "downshifting" to enjoy life while spending less money and the meaning of postretirement life pepper its pages. His perceptive analyses of real and fictional people's financial hopes and strategies will inspire readers to reconsider their Numbers and their methods for investing. Sheryl Garrett, founder of the Garrett Planning Network, George Kinder, co-founder of the Kinder Institute of Life Planning, and many other leading financial planners are profiled in the book. Eisenberg provides additional thoughts on his web-log (www.thenumberbook.com).
