Eldercare Resource: The Hard Times Guide to Retirement Security
Tags: Financial Help
Mark Miller wrote The Hard Times Guide to Retirement Security to give baby boomers the first examination of retirement issues in the new post-crash economy. As a journalist covering retirement security issues, he wanted to show how strategies for money, work, and living could be interwoven and leveraged for retirement security—even in the Great Recession. He also hopes to help readers boost their retirement IQs by showcasing the best thinking he could find while reporting on retirement and aging.
The Hard Times Guide to Retirement Security will help you
- boost your income from Social Security (good planning and decision making can add hundreds of thousands of dollars to lifetime benefits for you and your spouse);
- improve your retirement income by one-third or more by working just a few years beyond what you planned;
- recalibrate your damaged retirement portfolio and reduce your exposure to risky equities;
- not outlive your money, using financial tools that insure against longevity risk;
- learn how to hire a financial adviser whose first loyalty is to you—not to Wall Street;
- manage the risk of health care expense in retirement;
- rethink your housing plans in light of the real estate crash;
- stay employed or find a job after age 50;
- become a midlife entrepreneur; and
- transition into an encore career in fields like teaching, health care, government, or nonprofit work.
