Publisher's Synopsis
Whether you are 30, 40, 50 years old, or already retired; this guide can help you now. As Luck Would Have It can help you create a financial plan for your successful retirement. It is not an investment scheme or stock portfolio, but rather a practical way to accumulate what you will need to be financially stable from whatever your starting point is now. Beyond money, the book describes how everyone needs to emotionally prepare for retirement and how money works for you after you retire. DJ Charpentier, using entertaining stories and real examples, takes you on a journey through midlife to retirement and beyond...where he was to where he is now...5 years into retirement. Topics such as: what to do today, retirement finances, retirement rehearsal, and investing after retirement are discussed. There are suggested websites and practical thinking discussing how the ordinary, middle class family makes it through their work life and sets up a plan to live a comfortable, worry-free retirement. The biggest difference between this rewrite and the original manuscript is that the perspective is five-year into retirement. It is a look back on what was and still is successful and what could have been better. Also discussed is that changes that take place once age 65 is reached and full retirement age.
