A lot of good info, but also a sales pitch for the author’s company.
Basically explains that what you should do in retirement depends on what you have, who you are and what you want. Best advice is to not decide to do exactly what someone else is doing or has done even though it makes sense for them. Because, they are not you.
Advises, communicating your vision, hopes, fears and dreams to your spouse while listening to theirs and try to reach a compromise.
Also, comments on individual investors not faring well on their own due to lack of knowledge and experience and a tendency to overreact to market fluctuations, even when they feel they would not. Get a fiduciary with experience is the recommendation. Preferably a trustworthy experienced financial advisor from the authors firm.
Pay fees to reduce costs and get help.
