This is a great book that changed the way I thought about retirement & life

Before reading, my main approach to retirement planning was ‘when do I end work’ and ‘do I have enough money’. Kim treats retirement as the start of something that should be fun and rewarding; not an end. Money is important (and there are great sections on how to maximize your funds as well as tools to help you budget) but more valuable is your time and happiness.

There is a quote she uses in the book that stuck with me to drive the message that retirement planning is so much more than the balance of your 401K. – “Millions long for immortality who don’t know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.”

Retirement book inspirational for midlifers, too!

You may think that it’s too early to think about what you’ll do in retirement if you’re a “midlifer.” I am 50, with no intention to retire any time soon, and I found this book extremely helpful as a way to look at my own social wealth, let go of regret for things I haven’t done yet, and look ahead with optimism for what is possible. The content about Relationship Circles and Retirement Mapping can apply at all stages of life! If you are on the cusp of retiring, or even thinking ahead to when you will, this book will broaden your retirement view beyond the dollars to include the elements that make or break your happiness in this third stage of life. With a positive, funny, yet realistic voice, Kim Curtis shares from her vast experience of working with people approaching this next chapter in life. A must read!

Must read if beginning retirement or considering it

This book helps you consider what life you want to live in retirement not just how much money you have to retire with. It is a wonderful guide for money management and living your values. Full of examples, humor and useful tips. I’ve given this to friends for retirement gifts and they’ve loved it.

The origins of Wealth Legacy Institute began as a response to shady practices of many financial brokerage firms, such as hiding fees and commissions within long and intentionally complicated fine print. It became clear to me that employees in big brokerage firms were simply salespeople working towards the interests of the brokerage firm, not necessarily the client.
