This sounds like a book everyone needs, especially in these trying times. Young people, myself include, have no idea how to save up for retirement, or how much they should even save - we aren't taught any of this, and to make things worse our future is always up in the air, so we don't know if retirement is even a thing we should be thinking about. I appreciate this book for trying to shed some light on the topic. Thanks for your review!

I really was not considering reading this book, but after this review I think I will be worth the time. Planning future ahead. Retirement planning is something that we do in our late 40s but, creating a plan now to secure the future is really good plan.

Sounds like an interesting book.
I am not sure I enjoy the concept of " retirement ", I do agree with saving and investing a reasonable amount in the future, in the event I live and need medical care, need to buffer inflation, and choose to maintain expensive hobbies perhaps.
I will keep this one on mind, perhaps there is value that can be gained from the author's experience and insight on this matter.

Thank you for your review.
This book brings forth some critical questions; thank you for sharing the questions.
I am not a fan of the term " retirement ". In fact, I do like the idea of "reconfigurement. "
I believe I have "reconfigured" my life largely away from the concept of retiring, but rather with the concept of transitioning from my authentic circumstances forward. It is a complex and intricate approach. In the event I am forced into retirement due to health reasons then yes, I have a small strategy for this.
Perhaps this book will add further value to my approach, considering the author is experienced in "retirement" planning , this may be an interesting reference point to check my course, in terms of adding further value to my personal life goals and strategy.
