I am not the target audience for this book, but still found it to be interesting. The book seems to be written for those of a high net worth who are trying to figure out the mechanics of balancing investing for retirement and spending for today. In a series of short chapters and exercises, the author walks you through some elements that you need to consider and implement, but it left me with the feeling that to really put this plan into effect you would need to hire a financial advisor (like the author's firm). This is not really a do-it-yourself manual though I guess for some it could be if they read this early enough and are very financially literate. Still, it is worth a read.

Orderly retirement, full happiness

As a recent retiree, I think the book touches on aspects that are too relevant to what I am currently dealing with and while some I had under control, there are others that I felt very lost with. I must say that the book has given me some fantastic ideas that I have already started to implement, including the investment and legacy plan. When you are retired, there is a stronger desire to leave everything as well organized as possible for your children and, besides that, to give them good fruits of what you have harvested. The book seems to me to be very accurate when it talks about simplifying, it is something that costs us all a lot.

A lot of wisdom and common sense in this book

At my age, this book was just what I need. Also at my age, I’m a little late to the Game! But there is still a treasure trove of golden nuggets in her to guide me in saving and continuing to save for my retirement. It’s broken up into manageable chunks of information. I love that there are summaries at the end of each chapter so that Ican revisit the topics.

Perfect for these moments

My girlfriend and I have just bought an apartment and we are always thinking about the best way to organize our finances but also to guarantee a much more promising future, which will allow us to have peace of mind and not to stress. The book teaches us from the simplest as simplified savings to some much more efficient and complex techniques to achieve solid goals for the future and well it does it in a very concrete and understandable way.

Great and interesting book.

Wow, what an inspiring and interesting book. From the first page, I was completely fascinated with all the tools the author shows us to achieve a prosperous retirement. What I liked the most about this book were the efficient tips on how to build a budget and prepare for the new stages.
I highly recommend this book, it really helped me to focus and have my goals clearer towards my path to a secure and satisfying retirement.

[Brenda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think what I enjoy the most is the clear and the easy approach on a topic such as retirement and money. I think planning on that can have a lot of uncertainty and be really stressful, so it is nice how this book follows the reader into practical advice, it gives creative ideas on savings and also ideas to invest.

The book felt like numbers were left to second place and the approach was focused on the lifestyle and legacy that the reader would want to build.

Before reading "The Four-Minute Retirement Plan" by Michael Cannivet, I thought that retirement had to be planned in a complex way, and to be very honest, I saw it as something super difficult. However, by reading Cannivet's book, I learned that just four minutes a day can change my financial future. I like this book for its practical approach.

[Daniel Moreno · Rating 5 out of 5]

Invest in yourself!

I really feel identified with this book, I consider that spirituality and silence are very important facts that all people must have in their life. With this book, readers have a perfect guide for having a personal and deep space that will help them reflect in their lives. Great book!

One of the best retirement books I've read. Instead of getting bogged down in tactics, focuses on the strategy, including the "why" being retirement. Thoroughly enjoyed!
