The Last Resort: A Retirement Vision for Canadians and How to Achieve It

by Steve Bareham

Not just financial planning, but life-planning strategies for "life after work"Richard and Wendy are in their mid-forties, members in good standing of that new demographic group -- the "baby gloomers". Like millions of other Canadians, they're afraid that their current pension and RRSP savings aren't adequate -- and that their retirement lifestyle plan is somewhat vague. Richard and Wendy, as the fictional couple in The Last Resort, are about to discover some realistic, novel and sound retirement solutions that are perfect for couples and singles over thirty-five -- including those who think they've started too late in their retirement planning.

Written in a friendly, entertaining narrative, The Lost Resort is packed with information. It merges sound financial planning with an innovative approach to lifestyle philosophy. Readers gain a holistic perspective detailing not only courses of action they can follow in life and investment planning, but how they can achieve desirable outcomes. The Last Resort delivers on wealth accumulation strategies but goes much further by picking up at the point where other books leave off how to live happily ever afterward. The Last Resort will become a personal finance standard for all baby boomers.
