John Piper challenges fellow baby boomers to forego the American dream of retirement and live out their golden years with a far greater purpose in mind. They say it's a person's reward for all those years of labor. "Turn in your time card and trade in your IRAs. Let travel plans and golf-course leisure lead the way." But is retirement really the ideal? Or is it a series of poor options that ignore a greater purpose-and will kill a person more quickly than old age? John Piper responds: "Lord, spare me this curse!" And his resounding message is for anyone who believes there's far more to the golden years than accumulating comforts. It's for readers who long to finish better than they started, persevere for the right reasons (and without fear), experience true security, value what lies beyond their cravings, and live dangerously for the One who gave his life in his prime. With this brief book, Piper is sure to spur fellow baby boomers in their resolve to invest themselves in the sacrifices of love-and to grow old with godly zeal.

This book takes a holistic approach to retirement for pre-retirees and retirees. Rather than just focusing on financial matters for retirement, this book explores the 4 Keys to a Safe Retirement: Financial Preparedness, Health & Wellness, Mental Attitude and Staying Involved! Many people are thrust into retirement, ill equipped to handle the various aspects of retirement, above and beyond just the financial matters! When Jack Tatar lost both his retired mother and father in the course of six months, he heard all about how this can be a common occurrence among the elderly and retired. As one of the world’s leading market researchers, Jack was used to asking “why?” What he heard consistently through his research with retirees and their families was, “There’s plenty of books and materials about being financially prepared for retirement, but there aren’t books and resources that consider all of the aspects that are needed to consider when someone retires. How to take care of their health? What to do with their free time? How to stay connected to friends and create more friends? How to stay positive when your family and friends are moving away and/or dying? Ultimately, they need to understand how to create a safe retirement.” This book is the result of the research, findings and experiences that led Jack to create a book that, as he says in the book’s dedication to his parents, “is a book that I wish they ‘d been able to read before they died.” It’s a book written for the person considering retirement, the person newly retired, or the person well into retirement, as well as for a friend or a child of any of these individuals. The 4 Keys to a Safe Retirement will help the reader to: - Create a financial plan - Manage your retirement income - Understand the complexities of vital programs such as Medicare and Social Security - Manage your health and learn how to eat healthy - Recognize that exercise is no longer optional and how to make it part of your life - Create a positive attitude that will lead to a longer life - Learn to cope with the difficulties that will occur in retirement such as losing loved ones and being a caregiver - Appreciate the opportunities for travel and volunteering - How to use new technologies and social media to connect with others - And so much more It's not just a book! It's also a dynamic resource that includes full access to a companion website, www.Safe4Retirement.com, which provides the latest up to date, relevant information on retirement topics.

People who work for themselves often neglect to plan for their retirement. Yet failing to stash away money is like ignoring your taxes or keeping poor records -- it's financial roulette! Fortunately, it's not difficult to establish a nest egg. Nolo's new book, Creating Your Own Retirement Plan, provides the straightforward information you need to select, establish and operate a retirement plan. It covers: *simple IRAs *SEP IRAs *traditional IRAs *Roth IRAs *profit-sharing plans *defined benefit plans *401(k) plans In plain English, the book explains how to select the best plan, set it up, make contributions, administer the plan, and then -- finally -- receive distributions. The latest edition is completely revised to reflect the massive changes wrought by the 2001 Tax Law, which altered many of the rules and regulations governing retirement plans. 
Written by two experts in tax and investment planning, IRAs presents the different types of retirement plans that are affected by distribution rules. It covers the tax options available to individuals when they either change employers or retire and have to take all of their money out of the employer's qualified plan. The book also examines IRAs and the new Roth IRAs: how to take distributions from them, designate beneficiaries and avoid even more potential penalties.

The Retirement Benefits Tax Guide (3rd Edition) is a comprehensive, answer-oriented source of practical information on federal taxation of retirement benefits. It approaches the subject from the perspectives of: (1) participants in retirement plans: (2) beneficiaries of deceased participants in retirement plans; (3) professional advisors of plan participants and beneficiaries; and (4) employers and plan administrators who advise employees of federal tax ramifications of these retirement plans. The Retirement Benefits Tax Guide focuses on distributions and how they are taxed in the hands of participants and beneficiaries. Except as they relate to distributions, the Guide does not examine, in any detail, the requirements that must be met if a retirement plan, its sponsoring employer, and its employee participants are to qualify for the various types of special tax treatment that are extended to "qualified" plans. However, it does provide a background in qualification matters necessary for the understanding of the tax treatment of benefits. Although the deductions that are available for employer contributions to retirement plans are not within the scope of this book, it does carefully examine when and how those contributions are taxed to employees and their beneficiaries. In addition to detailed coverage of distributions from qualified retirement plans (employer-sponsored plans meeting the requirements of Code Sec. 401(a)), the Guide examines distributions from IRAs, SEPs, SIMPLE retirement plans, Roth IRAs, TSAs, and nonqualified plans of both the funded and unfunded varieties (including unfunded deferred compensation plans of state and local governments and other tax-exempt employers--so-called section 457 plans). Benefits covered include annuities, lump-sum distributions, rollovers, in-service distributions, noncash distributions, loans, life-insurance protection, disability benefits, death benefits, and miscellaneous post-retirement distributions.

Phased Retirement is a book written especially for the Baby Boomer generation. As Baby Boomers face the typical retirement, age, they begin to think about the income available in their retirement funds, current pension plans, whether they’ll take early retirement, will there be sufficient income in retirement to live comfortably, how to plan for health insurance and whether they want to continue to work, perhaps part time.

These are valid concerns and this book serves as a comprehensive guide to help alleviate some of the concerns of a Boomer facing the retirement phase of life. This book also provides a general overview of what phased retirement is all about and how this new trend towards retirement can be approached to maximize it to the best advantage.

In 1987 a new retirement system, called the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), was introduced for federal civil service personnel. Some observers have hypothesized that FERS would alter the retirement and separation outcomes produced by FERS' predecessor, the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). This report compares the retirement and separation incentives embedded in FERS versus those in CSRS to see whether the incentives embedded in FERS are consistent with these hypotheses. It also examines which system is more generous in terms of providing greater expected net lifetime earnings and retirement wealth. To compare the systems, the authors compute expected net wealth associated with different separation and retirement ages for a representative individual. The authors also conduct sensitivity analyses to see how their comparisons differ under alternative assumptions. Finally, the authors useAuthor: B. J. Asch, J. T.

Early Retirement Extreme provides a robust strategy that makes it possible to stop working for money in just a short number of years. It provides a paradigm shift in economic perspective from consuming to producing. Your value to society is not how much you earn or how much you buy. It is what you create and produce for yourself and for others. It is what you leave, not what you take. Consumers are often locked into expensive options, but producers have the flexibility to create appropriate solutions at a quarter of the cost. The resulting savings (the difference between income and expenses) is one's monetary contribution to society. When savings are put to work through investments, society will pay dividends which cover the remaining expenses resulting in financial independence. The strategy can also be used to pay off debt, travel the world, volunteer, go back to school, or work on otherwise nonprofitable endeavors without worrying about the next paycheck. It offers a compelling alternative to the default choice of graduating high school, getting a college degree, buying a car, getting married, buying a house, filling it with furniture, clothes, TVs, washing machines, lawn mowers, and electric egg boilers, and then spending the next 40 years working 9-5 to pay it all off.Author: Jacob Lund Fisker Paperback: 238 pages Company: CreateSpace (2010-09-30) ISBN: 145360121X List Price: $14.95 Amazon Price: $11.18 Used Price: $10.88

In this hilarious and insightful memoir twenty-five-year-old Rodney Rothman, burned out from his big-city life, decides to get a jumpstart on the golden years...four decades before his time. He retires and moves to South Florida and finds an elderly roommate, Leslie, a former piano teacher with cats. Rodney throws himself into the easy life, but soon finds that all the softball, shuffleboard, bingo, gambling cruises, canasta and tennis is, well, exhausting. After his newfound friends get over the oddity of a twenty-something retiree, he becomes one of them, though not without difficulty. He plays in a senior softball league and finds that most seventy-year-olds are far better athletes than he is. He plans a return to the stage for a reluctant ninety-two-year-old comedian. He finds himself the unwelcome muse and romantic interest of a seventy-seven-year-old femme fatale. And he becomes the last great hope of his shuffleboard team. But early retirement - the dream of so many - is not quite what he expected. "Early Bird" takes readers on a humorous, and often bittersweet, journey through the people and culture of retirement. With a deft comedic touch that evokes Bill Bryson or David Sedaris, Rodney Rothman takes you to where you're going after you get the golden watch.Author: Rodney Rothman Hardcover: 256 pages Bargain Price Company: Simon & Schuster (2005-04-26) List Price: $23.00 Amazon Price: $8.44 Used Price: $3.09

Investors, shell-shocked by the “Great Recession” of 2008-2009, are looking for answers, for something fresher than the old ‘buy-and-hold’ mantra. They hunger for stability, yet yearn for growth to rejuvenate their battered portfolios. Ray Lucia’s The Buckets of Money Retirement Solution: The Ultimate Guide to Income for Life provides just that—a reassuring and scientifically proven strategy that gives investors both growth and income. Lucia, a Certified Financial Planner who’s helped thousands of people invest more than $2 billion, explains how to spend down ‘safe’ buckets (containing, for example, Treasuries, CDs, bonds), while leaving a riskier bucket (real estate, stocks and alternative investments) to grow long-term. This strategy shields investors from the short-term ups and downs of the market. And it gives them the courage and discipline to stay invested no matter what the future holds. Written in a breezy, accessible style and loaded with tons of examples and clear, specific calculations, the book explains how to set your financial goals, divvy up your money accordingly, and then invest intelligently. With this book as your guide, readers will learn how to achieve both income and growth while at the same time reducing risk. “All in all,” Lucia writes, “this plan is akin to a sports car that seats six, approximating the best of both worlds. In this case by being a conservative strategy that’s also growth-oriented.” Almost every kind of investment—stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate—plunged in the past year or two, turning off millions of investors who’d been planning for and counting on a reasonably comfortable retirement. These retirees or near-retirees need solutions…something fresher than the old ‘buy-and-hold’ mantra. Yet here’s what they hear from the financial-services industry: Set up an asset-allocation model, then take a systematic withdrawal to support your retirement…remembering, of course, to rebalance the accounts to remain in sync with the model. Wrong! That maximizes the advisors’ fees but doesn’t protect the investors’ assets during the tough times. Author: Raymond J.

With over 500 residents, The Fairfax is a thriving community that offers retired military officers and their spouses gracious living arrangements. But in 1982, it was just an idea in the minds of a small band of men and women who envisioned a need for such a community. History of The Fairfax details the story of how this multi-million dollar facility came to fruition-through conception, construction, and conscription-all in just ten years.Lieutenant General Frank Camm had already enjoyed a distinguished career in the United States Army when he was appointed Chairman of a group that would develop an Army Officer Retirement Residence. In Part I, he relies heavily on the minutes of some 200 Foundation meetings to share the trials and errors, disappointments, and successes endemic to such an enterprise. In Part II, Colonel John Schlight, a retired Air Force navigator and former Air Force Academy history professor, details how The Fairfax grew into maturity and how its residents learned to govern themselves and transform The Fairfax into a fun-filled community. History of The Fairfax shares a captivating behind-the-scenes glimpse into how one idea created a community with traditions and an atmosphere ideal for military retirees. 
Winner of the 1998 Paul A. Samuelson Award given by TIAA-CREF, The Evolution of Retirement is the first comprehensive economic history of retirement in America. With life expectancies steadily increasing, the retirement rate of men over age 64 has risen drastically. Dora L. Costa looks at factors underlying this increase and shows the dramatic implications of her findings for both the general public and the U.S. government. Using statistical, and demographic concepts, Costa sheds light on such important topics as rising incomes and retirement, work and disease, the job prospects of older workers, living arrangements of the elderly, the development of a retirement lifestyle, and pensions and politics. "[Costa's] major contribution is to show that, even without Social Security and Medicare, retirement would have expanded dramatically."—Robert J. Samuelson, New Republic "An important book on a topic which has become popular with historians and is of major significance to politicians and economists."—Margaret Walsh, Business History Author: Dora L.

One of the major - and complicating - characteristics of the antique Middle East is the interconnection between the Semitic and Greco-Roman cultures.

This study of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) explains in detail how public officials in the executive branch and Congress overcame strong opposition from business and organized labor to pass landmark legislation regulating employer-sponsored retirement and health plans. Before Congress passed ERISA, federal law gave employers and unions great discretion in the design and operation of employee benefit plans. Most importantly, firms and unions could and often did establish pension plans that placed employees at great risk for not receiving any retirement benefits. In the early 1960s, officials in the executive branch proposed a number of regulatory initiatives to protect employees, but business groups and most labor unions objected to the key proposals. Faced with opposition from powerful interest groups, legislative entrepreneurs in Congress, chiefly New York Republican senator Jacob K. Javits, took the case for pension reform directly to voters by publicizing frightening statistics and "horror stories" about pension plans. This deft and successful effort to mobilize the media and public opinion overwhelmed the business community and organized labor and persuaded Javits's colleagues in Congress to support comprehensive pension reform legislation. The enactment of ERISA in September 1974 recast federal policy for private pension plans by making worker security an overriding objective of federal law.

Throughout their careers, recognized wealth advisors David Rust and Shane Moore achieved the most inspiration and satisfaction from providing guidance and counsel to families and individuals that suddenly had the responsibility of handling more money than they ever imagined. While each situation is always unique, in every instance the clients were fearful of making the wrong decisions. These experiences inspired Rust and Moore to write a book to enlighten readers about how likely this type of situation is, and how financially and psychologically complex it is to go through. This is that book. Emotionally engaging and thought provoking, Rust and Moore’s compilation is a unique combination of fact and fiction that inspires fiscal sanity and confidence. Through various events, including an inheritance, a lottery jackpot, and a business sale, seven fictional stories depict families and individuals confronted with the reality of their own sudden wealth situations. They come from different walks of life and very different paths, yet each find themselves with more money than they have been responsible for in the past and struggle with the challenges it brings. Each story is inspired by the real-world experiences during Rust and Moore’s extensive careers. Used as a means of making the reality of these situations much more concrete and visceral, they also provide a compelling segue to the second section of the book wherein the authors provide a resource to assist readers in recognizing steps to take when faced with a sudden wealth situation. Deftly weaving experience and storytelling, Rust and Moore create a unique financial guide that resonates more thoroughly and completely than typical DIY wealth formats. Informative and insightful, Sudden Wealth…It Happens: The Stories of Seven Families and the Challenges They Face with Financial Windfalls is the #1 resource for anyone who experiences a sudden financial windfall.Author: David Rust, Shane Moore Paperback: 216 pages Company: CreateSpace (2011-08-15) ISBN: 1461146267 List Price: $19.95 Amazon Price: $16.45 Used Price: $16.44

This book takes a holistic approach to retirement for pre-retirees and retirees. Rather than just focusing on financial matters for retirement, this book explores the 4 Keys to a Safe Retirement: Financial Preparedness, Health & Wellness, Mental Attitude and Staying Involved! Many people are thrust into retirement, ill equipped to handle the various aspects of retirement, above and beyond just the financial matters! When Jack Tatar lost both his retired mother and father in the course of six months, he heard all about how this can be a common occurrence among the elderly and retired. As one of the world’s leading market researchers, Jack was used to asking “why?” What he heard consistently through his research with retirees and their families was, “There’s plenty of books and materials about being financially prepared for retirement, but there aren’t books and resources that consider all of the aspects that are needed to consider when someone retires. How to take care of their health? What to do with their free time? How to stay connected to friends and create more friends? How to stay positive when your family and friends are moving away and/or dying? Ultimately, they need to understand how to create a safe retirement.” This book is the result of the research, findings and experiences that led Jack to create a book that, as he says in the book’s dedication to his parents, “is a book that I wish they ‘d been able to read before they died.” It’s a book written for the person considering retirement, the person newly retired, or the person well into retirement, as well as for a friend or a child of any of these individuals. The 4 Keys to a Safe Retirement will help the reader to: - Create a financial plan - Manage your retirement income - Understand the complexities of vital programs such as Medicare and Social Security - Manage your health and learn how to eat healthy - Recognize that exercise is no longer optional and how to make it part of your life - Create a positive attitude that will lead to a longer life - Learn to cope with the difficulties that will occur in retirement such as losing loved ones and being a caregiver - Appreciate the opportunities for travel and volunteering - How to use new technologies and social media to connect with others - And so much more It's not just a book! It's also a dynamic resource that includes full access to a companion website, www.Safe4Retirement.com, which provides the latest up to date, relevant information on retirement topics.
