results; determine their own salary range; and more. We live in a

As the baby boomer generation becomes senior citizens and starts to
flood into the last stage of life, a new definition and new
expectations of retirement and aging are evolving. This is not your
father's way of being an older adult. People today tend not to
retire in a traditional way. They envision getting older as a
challenge to stay active and engaged, a chance to reinvent
themselves, and an opportunity to reach for new goals. However, for
some, this stage of life can be difficult, bringing with it a whole
range of new challenges and obstacles. Along the way, many may deal
with mental health problems such as stress and anxiety, grief and
depression, drug and alcohol abuse, changes in marital and other
relationships, as well as elder abuse. Are you ready? How will you
fill your new free time? How will you cope with the psychological
changes? Let this book, on coping with the emotional, mental,
physical, and spiritual issues of retirement and aging from a
psychiatrist's perspective, light the way. This book will help
readers deal with common issues across a broad spectrum. It offers
treatment options, suggests coping skills, and even deals with
spiritual and emotional challenges at the end of life. It will help
you invest in relationships, redefine your marriage, and broaden
your horizons. It will allow you to take charge of your life in
retirement and not just let it happen to you.
The financial advice industry - which includes every major bank,
mutual fund and investment advisor - has a vested interest in
convincing you that you will never be able to afford a decent
retirement. Social Security is going bankrupt; pensions have
disappeared; and, if you don't save now, you won't have enough time
to get the benefit of compounded interest or another long-term
rally in the market. The more they scare you, the marketing wisdom
goes, the more you're likely to latch onto their services. But the
truth is far different from the atmosphere of fear the retirement
industry has created.A great retirement is within reach-and not
just for those with high-incomes or families who started saving
early on. Filled with practical wisdom, and his distinctively
ebullient voice, Jonathan Pond's "The Boomer's Guide to a Great
Retirement" gives readers the financial advice they need without
the scare tactics. Pond also possesses one of the largest databases
anywhere in the US on the financial condition of middle and
upper-middle classes in each region. The data will give readers the
first real accounting of where they stand against their peers in
planning for retirement.
