Start Where You Are: Retirement Planning in a Changing World

by Ruth L. Hayden

From the book's very first sentence-a question about what your life will be like in the next 20 to 40 years-to the last, Start Where You Are: Retirement Planning in a Changing World helps you to get real and get excited about retirement. Far more than a savings guide, the book helps you in managing your expectations and making balanced decisions without fear or greed. You can meet your coming money, work, health, and family needs, and Ruth Hayden will assist by asking that you:

Imagine your life over three distinct stages so you can plan specifically for each stage.
Practice resiliency. Life's going to throw you some curveballs, so you must adapt without abandoning your long-term plans.
Balance money with other facets of your life so that retirement will be successful and fulfilling. After all, the money part of retirement is only 20 percent of the planning.

Start Where You Are is Ruth at her best. She doesn't beat around the bush as she inspires you to bring balance into your life, transform your retirement dreams into reality and take control of your finances. If you pick one book to start your retirement planning, make it Start Where You Are.
