Knowing that many people aren’t as enthusiastic as I am about topics like taxes, interest rates and so on, I tried to make Retire Secure! as reader friendly as possible. Even so, I know there are still folks out there who find it difficult to apply the concepts outlined in the book to their own personal situations. It’s for those people that I wrote Chapter 10, a Retirement and Estate Planning Case Study on Eddie & Emily. It is a real life retirement story loosely based on an actual client who came to me with some concerns.
Chapter 10 is written from this couple’s point of view. It walks the reader through the thought process that these clients went through as they entered retirement, and how we helped them achieve peace of mind about their concerns. Every client’s situation is different, so it would wrong to imply that one course of action is always better than another. Since we helped them plan with the big picture in mind, though, they were confident that the decisions that they made were the best possible for themselves and their children.
Stop back soon for a peek at Chapter 11. It’s a lot more technical than Chapter 10, but contains important information on the best ways to transfer wealth to your heirs.
See you soon!
