Retirement today is a lot more complex than the retirement of our parents and grandparents. Our expectations for what we want out of life are different from previous generations. We see more possibilities, but we also face more pitfalls and hurdles. We want to not only live longer but live better. We want to enjoy today but must prepare for many tomorrows. We don't want our lives to stop now that our careers no longer define us. We feel capable of doing so many things with our time and life experience. We don't see why we should not keep pushing ahead by learning and experiencing new things and challenging ourselves to keep growing, rather than just wilting away with diminished expectations. Whether you are newly retired or simply in the early stages of planning, the possibilities for what you want to do in the future are endless. As our choices have expanded, we are often left more confused and stressed. More choices imply more decisions and responsibility but Eric J. Weigel shows that the solution to finding joy and fulfillment in the sea of complexity and confusion that characterizes today's retirement world is to start with what you want and then work backward. It involves becoming completely clear about your vision for your Future Self-who you want to be, what you aspire to, and what type of life you want to lead, all in alignment with your core values and beliefs. The clearer you are about your Future Self, the less distracted you'll be with today's complex and endless options. You'll know where you want to go and plan accordingly. You'll deal with today's complexity and the vast range of choices by, ironically, rejecting the majority of possible paths you could take. Your focus will be your strength. In this book, you'll learn how to formulate the vision of your Future Self by combining your values, beliefs, aspirations, and purpose for why this is your chosen destiny. Your Future Self answers your what and why. Along with your vision of your Future Self, you'll need a system for creating the change you want. The 9 Keys to True Wealth encapsulated in the NET WEALTH system cover all major areas of your life. It starts with the traditional drivers of retirement planning-where you live (your NEST), your money situation (EARNINGS), and how you spend your TIME. It then focuses on the other areas of your life that can truly turbo-charge your happiness and fulfillment: sharing your knowledge and experience (WORK), regulating your emotions (EMOTIONAL ENERGY), pursuing meaningful goals (ACHIEVEMENTS), growing spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually (LEARNING), remaining engaged deeply in the lives of family and friends (TRIBE), and staying physically and mentally fit (HEALTH). By designing your own version of your Future Self and adopting the NET WEALTH system you will make more informed and intentional decisions. You'll turn lack of clarity, indecision, and uncertainty into a vision for your life and give you actionable steps for finding happiness and fulfillment. This book is for you if you are ready to take control of a future that: Transforms you from where you are today to where you want to go Unlocks possibilities rather than constraints Looks beyond money Brings joy and fulfillment to your life

There are nine key reasons people fail at retirement—and they’re not what you think. Are you working to avoid these major retirement fails? Every day, people just like you, people who have worked hard and saved carefully for retirement, make decisions that will eventually crack their nest egg. Just because you added to your 401(k) or IRA plan every year, invested wisely, and amassed significant savings, you are not necessarily home free. Ready or not, your decisions all along the retirement path can positively or negatively affect your financial future. In Retirement Fail, top financial advisor Greg Sullivan shares the insights he has gained over his thirty-five-year career in wealth management to help you identify potential pitfalls and learn how to safeguard your hard-earned retirement assets. Because, contrary to what most people think, it is not poor portfolio performance that usually busts your retirement accounts. Rather, it’s the emotional decisions you make that can cause major problems. Whether it’s buying a vacation home that is beyond your reach, subsidizing your adult kids to a degree that is ill advised, or passing on the umbrella insurance your advisor recommended, the choices you make have an enormous effect on whether you’ll be able to enjoy the comfortable retirement you’ve dreamed about. Retirement Fail: Lays out the nine common hazards that trip up otherwise well-prepared retirees, encouraging you to think through your decisions and set a course aligned with your values and your ultimate goals Goes beyond traditional financial advice, using personal stories to illustrate how others have become mired in—or solved—these financial dilemmas Creates a valuable framework you can use to chart your path or begin conversations with your advisor, so that you can act to protect your financial independence The numerical side of financial planning is one thing—the far more difficult task is looking at the way the decisions we make impact our own future and those around us. Whether you are working with a financial advisor or are going it alone, Retirement Fail shows you the points you need to pay attention to and helps you figure out what your priorities are—and what tradeoffs you may have to make in order to achieve them.

“A guide for planning that rich season of life, based not just on money, but also on how to create meaningful relationships, memories, and legacy.” —Dan Miller, author of 48 Days to the Work You Love Rock Retirement offers inspirational advice on how to enjoy the journey to retirement to its fullest. Traditional retirement advice usually boils down to saving more, sacrificing more, and settling for less. This approach makes people dependent on systems outside their control, such as the market, economy, and investment returns. The result: people lose power over determining their life. What sets Rock Retirement apart is its holistic approach to helping people take back control and act intentionally towards the life they want. It addresses the fears, hopes, and dreams that people have about retirement, goes way beyond the numbers, and shows them how to balance living well today and tomorrow. “Too many books think retirement is just about finances. Instead, retirement is about looking at life in full and working out what it is you want to do and then turning to finances to make it happen. That’s exactly the focus of the practical and helpful guide.” —Andrew Scott, coauthor of The 100-Year Life “Roger Whitney lays out a plan for today’s modern retiree. If you are exhausted with being fed that retirement is the end game of life, then Roger’s book is a must-read!” —Darryl W. Lyons, author of 18 to 80 “If you’re dreaming of a retirement free of worry, chao and confusion, Rock Retirement will give you the clarity, a solid plan and fresh inspiration to help you get where you want to go.” —Jevonnah “Lady J” Ellison, author of Love Letters for Leading Ladies
