Insights on Retirement: The Wonder Years of Your Life

Book excerpt: This book on retirement is a useful ally in the hands of every worker who works, intends to work, or planning to retire from work. Unlike many other books on retirement, this book introduces a very practical way of looking at retirement. The insights given at the end of each chapter are stepping stones meant to dispel the negative mental attitudes held by most workers regarding retirement from work. They provide valuable ideas towards formulating a plan for the retirement life from the very beginning of any career most people engage in, during the most productive years of life. The insights reveal that a systematic plan for retirement is as important for every worker as much as a career plan they do develop throughout their working years. It is a time for retirees to begin a second life in which they do things that they were not able to do during the time they worked.
