Bulletproof Your Retirement

by Faisal Karmali & David Popowich

There are few things in life more mysterious than retirement. All our adult lives we’ve worked and accumulated, and now for the first time, we are asked (or told!) to stop and reverse this process—but take heart. If you’re feeling anxious about your retirement years, you’re certainly not alone. When it comes to retirement, Canadians have four big fears: Wouldn’t it be great if we could make all these fears go away? Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could retire with total peace of mind? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could somehow bulletproof our retirement and know we’re going to have the lifestyle we want instead of just hoping it will happen? Well, guess what? You can. And this book will show you how to do it. Bulletproof Your Retirement eschews the charts, graphs, and equations you see in most retirement books in favour of real life stories that you can relate to. You’ll meet a successful couple who are about to retire, only to discover their retirement goals are in conflict. You’ll meet another couple who want it all, but are tens of thousands of dollars in debt. You’ll meet a workaholic entrepreneur whose health issues might force him to retire. And you’ll meet a suddenly single divorcée of 70 who wants to rediscover the fountain of youth. In the process, you’ll discover why retirement formulas do more harm than good, why happiness can never be a retirement goal, and why the emotions around lifestyle are more powerful than those around money. You’ll learn the basics of our portfolio structure that not only offers security and income, but also the growth to ensure you do not have to worry about running out of money. Ultimately, you will see why the key to retirement success begins with a plan that overcomes your fears and organizes your assets in such a way that you really can

A quick painless read that does a good job of making you think about what you need, when planning for retirement. The approach use four buckets Income, Growth, Health and Legacy.
However the book lacked any of the financial details which would required to action this, making it feel like marketing for the authors services.
