Consider their wise reflections on making a smooth transition into retirement. And put it all to use in planning the retirement that’s right for you. Most people long for retirement. But once they get there, many of them discover that it's not as wonderful as they had imagined. Andy Bertram is a case in point. At 52 he left his job in the finance industry and headed south for a life of sailing — and was surprised to find himself bored out of his skull. Back home, he talked to others who had retired and to their medical and financial advisors and found that many retirees — even those with impeccably planned financial resources — had experienced similar problems in adjusting to their new status. Now, in this entertaining and informational book, he and his friend Larry Solway share these conversations — conversations that will help you see the need for self-knowledge, purpose, and fulfilling relationships in planning and living a great retirement.
