Book: Future Perfect
by Author: David Bond and Diane Bond
Future Perfect:
Retirement Strategies for Productive People
.........................................
Essential reading for anyone contemplating a full and satisfying retirement - it will transform the way you think about and plan for your future.
For many Baby Boomers, the point of financial planning has not been to release them from wage slavery but to allow them to choose where they will live, when and for whom they will work and what non-career interests they will pursue. A great deal has been written about the financial side of planning for retirement, but there is relatively little written about the central quandary of what to do with the 2500 hours a year you used to give to your employer, or business or clients.
This book deals with what the individual who is now 'forty-to fifty-something' is likely to encounter over the next decade. The Bonds debunk widespread myths and challenge accepted ideas which disqualify older people from living productive lives and show that, for the majority of Boomers, continued productivity after fifty-five will benefit the economy, society at large-and themselves.
Interspersed throughout the book are case studies of well-known individuals who have successfully reinvented themselves upon retirement from their previous careers. Also profiled are others who, after more "ordinary" careers - policeman, teacher, lab technician - in their fifties struck out on a new path. Their stories reveal the risks and rewards of launching an endeavour in later life.
