Retirement is not easy. Many are fearful of it. It can be lonely and unfulfilling, or it can be the best time of your life. But even the best retirement’s don’t come easy. My two book’s, The Naked Retiree and How to Plan for and Live a Great Retirement, contain solid and practical approaches to retirement that can help turn apprehension into anticipation, identify common pitfalls with suggested strategies to address them, and because retirement is always a work in progress, and because as we age, time becomes even more precious, help you get the best out of every day.
