The vision is the beginning but getting to that destination requires more steps than people realize. Your Insiders' Guide to Retirement serves as a mentor for retirees and as a guide who has been down this path countless times with a proven system in place. With a combined 75 years of experience in financial services, Troy Daum, RJ Gordon Tudor, and Jeff Poole explore why people are fed up with the scandals of Wall Street, Brokerages, and insurance companies.

Everyone deserves to be able to retire with dignity, but this core feature of the social contract is in jeopardy. Companies have swerved away from pensions, and most of the workforce has woefully inadequate retirement savings.

In Rescuing Retirement, Teresa Ghilarducci and Tony James offer a comprehensive yet simple plan to help workers save for retirement, increase retirement savings by earning higher returns, and guarantee lifelong income for everyone. Built on people's own money in individual Guaranteed Retirement Accounts, the plan requires no new taxes, no more bureaucracy, and no increase in the deficit. Speaking to Americans' growing anxiety about their ability to retire, Rescuing Retirement provides answers to anyone wanting to understand the growing movement to protect a period of life once considered a deserved time of rest and creativity and offers a practical guide to the future of secure retirement.

Happily Ever After doesn't have to be just a fairytale anymore
This book was written with the current retiree in mind. It is one of the first books to recognize that once you get that last paycheck from your employer (the last paycheck for the rest of your life), you need to start seeing your money differently.
One of the biggest fears of most retirees or those preparing for retirement is that they may run out of money before they die. That fear can be greatly reduced by following the simple, easy to implement strategies and plan that Jim Black shares in this book.
As a retiree, you have spent 40 years or more saving and accumulating assets for retirement. Yet a single down year in the stock market can change your retirement forever. Most retirees think that they need to choose between growth and income, or risk and return, but Jim Black will show you that those options are not mutually exclusive.
Using real life examples and humor, Black has created a process that helps retirees overcome their basic fears. He has done this in a manner that anyone, regardless of their financially sophistication, should be able to implement for themselves.
By reading this book and implementing the strategies, you will greatly increase your chances of retiring on your terms, and living Happily Ever After.
