Reseña del editor

Praise for "The New Rules of Retirement": 'As a Wharton graduate, money manager, Chief Financial Officer, and Certified Financial Analyst, I didn't think I needed help in making investment choices and planning for my retirement. I was wrong. I have been a subscriber to Retirement Watch since 1997. I trust Bob Carlson completely and follow his investment, tax, and planning advice personally' - Sandy Kagan, CFA CFO Partner, Tatum Partners. 'A clear, practical, and wisely unconventional guide to the new world of retirement' - Humberto Cruz, Nationally syndicated financial columnist, Tribune Media Services.'Bob Carlson does a magnificent job preparing readers for the many challenging issues they will face over the next several decades. Retirees can no longer count on generous asset returns and employer-provided defined benefit plans. Bob provides readers with creative approaches for contending with these challenges to help ensure financially and emotionally secure 'freedom years" - Lawrence E.Kochard, PhD, CFA Chief Investment Officer, Georgetown University. 'Bob Carlson shows that three trends - demographics (baby boomers), increasing longevity, and fewer offspring - have changed forever the landscape facing America's retirees. Stereotype retirement based on Social Security and employer pensions is out; making ends meet on your own is in. Better get yourself ready - and you can do so by reading this book' - James C. Miller III Former U.S. Budget Director, Chairman of The CapAnalysis Group, LLC.

Nota de la solapa

Retirement is an opportunity to do the things you could never find the time for while you were working. It's a chance to plan how you really want to spend the rest of your life. But to take advantage of retirement opportunities, you have to plan and prepare. Most of all, you need to know the new rules of retirement planning.

Today, an unstoppable force known as the Age Wave is transforming the face of retirement. This wave, which is fueled by a historically large generation that is past midlife; longer life expectancy; and a low population replacement rate, will threaten the safety and comfort of your retirement?unless you adapt to the changes brought about by these new trends.

In The New Rules of Retirement, nationally recognized retirement expert Robert Carlson will show you how to incorporate the Age Wave into your retirement planning process and teach you proven, profitable, and unique strategies for achieving a financially secure retirement. He'll explain why you should be prepared to save more than past retirees have and how to use the new rules for investing. He'll also reveal why you might not receive as much help from Social Security, Medicare, and your former employer as you might think.
