The New Retirement: Financial Strategies For Life After Work

The New Retirement: Financial Strategies For Life After Work In The New Retirement, Dian Cohen delivers a wake-up call to Canadians who mistakenly believe that the old rules of retirement will still apply in the new economy. There are profound changes happening in our society, and these changes will affect when, how, and even IF we retire.

In the first part of her book, Cohen examines and destroys some of the myths on which we base our future planning. These myths include:

¸  The myth of the job (working 45 years for one company and receiving a company pension)

¸  The myth of viable, universal pensions

¸  The myth of universal health care.

The second part of the book provides options, alternatives and solutions for managing retirement in our changing society. The nuts and bolts of devising a personal plan are clearly laid out, as are saving strategies and investment options. Cohen offers reminders on how to avoid paying too much tax and alternative ways of planning your estate so that people you care about benefit from your assets, and Revenue Canada doesn’t get the lion’s share.

Most importantly, The New Retirement illuminates the importance of having a smart strategy and planning ahead. And it’s never too late. “What’s the best time to plant a tree? Twenty-five years ago. What’s the next best time? Today.”

Winning Or Losing: The Financial Retirement Race

Winning Or Losing: The Financial Retirement Race

Customer Review: Highly recommended.
Successful attorney and estate/financial planning specialist Robert Lamoreaux, JD, presents Winning or Losing the Financial & Retirement Race, a straightforward guide primarily to the financial aspects of one’s retirement that also touches briefly on more general advice such as how to keep family connections strong. Winning or Losing the Financial & Retirement Race stands out because it presents its wisdom in plain and simple, no-nonsense terms that even a financial novice can readily grasp. The author testifies directly from his own experience, resulting in an invaluable resource; its discussion of estate planning is a superb primer not just for impending retirees, but also for anyone with assets, since the end of life can unfortunately strike at any time. One example of Lamoreaux’s folksy yet utterly serious wisdom concerns the practice of parents disinherting their children: “Disinheritance always destroys relationships. If you have a child who has made some bad choices and has a special problem that upsets you, such as being a spendthrift or using drugs, see your attorney. An attorney can place provisions in a Trust that will provide for the child, yet not support the habits, without disinheritance.” Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Author takes fear out of the unknown
Reviewed by Debra Gaynor for Reader Views (12/06)

Mr. Lamoreaux is a knowledgeable estate planner with more than 35 years of experience in the financial field. He offers his wisdom in a simple manner that lay people can easily understand. As more and more Americans begin to look toward retirement they realize they must have a plan. Mr. Lamoreaux offers his expertise in developing that plan. Facing retirement is exciting and yet frightening. Life after retirement isn’t always what we’ve envisioned usually due to lack of planning.

“Whatever your vision of retirement might be, your goal must be to have enough assets to enable you to live the lifestyle you want.” Only after you’ve acquired that amount of money through efforts and investments can you retire.

Mr. Lamoreaux simply defines such terms as net worth, cash flow, and budget. He offers advice on selecting a professional to assist you. He defines money as a tool that helps you accomplish your goals and dreams. He explains that debt is a hindrance regardless of what the ads may say. Topics such as Medical Power of Attorney, Guardians, Hospice and prescriptions are just a few of the important subjects you will learn about as you read this book.

This book is well written in a logical and concise manner. The print is a nice size for tired eyes. There is space at the end of each chapter to record notes. Robert Lamoreaux is knowledgeable and experienced in financial matters, and having raised fourteen children, he understands the need for budgeting. I’m glad I read this book and intend to share it with others. This should be required reading for those fresh out of college for retirement age comes faster than we expect. I highly recommend “Winning or Losing: The Financial & Retirement Race” to all adults. You will be facing retirement in the future. You need to be prepared.
