DIY Retirement Planning

Creating and Managing Wealth in Retirement

By: Barbara Smith,Ed Koken

Most people now understand the need to work hard to accumulate wealth for when they retire from the mainstream work force. What people do not realise is that the need to manage your finances does not stop when you stop work. If we are lucky, we can expect to live until we are 80 or more and if we retire at 60 that means that our superannuation has to last for at least 20 years! Careful planning is required to ensure that the funds under management continue to create enough income to support us during this time. Then there is the question of estate planning. Do we want to leave wealth for our children or do we want to SKI (Spend the Kids Inheritance)?All these financial questions and some lifestyle issues are addressed by high-profile authors Barbara Smith and Ed Koken, experts in the fields of personal finance and retirement planning, in their latest book DIY Retirement Planning, a sister publication to DIY Financial Planning.

Retire Richer, Younger

A Practical Alternative to Working Until You are 67

By: Barbara Smith,Ed Koken

Whether you are 21 or 61, this book is designed to assist you in planning for an earlier retirement date and a more financially secure retirement. It encourages readers to review their own situation:How much have I got already?How much will I need?How can I achieve my financial goals earlier?What do I need to do when I retire? It's never too early or too late to start planning for retirement.
