NetLibrary eBook Gives Tips For a Happy Retirement
Retiring happy isn't just about how much money you have put away. It's also about enjoying your retirement years by maintaining an active social life, enjoying a healthy old age and planning to have some fun. OCLC's NetLibrary eBook of the month, Retire Happy: What You Can Do Now to Guarantee a Great Retirement, discusses how to become rich in the ways that matter most by balancing financial concerns with an enriching lifestyle.
Author Rich Stim and Nolo co-founder Jake Warner assert that when planning for retirement, it’s easy to become preoccupied with stock portfolios, 401(k) balances and doomsday predictions about baby boomer’s lack of savings. Instead, they advise readers to estimate real retirement needs and create a workable savings and investment plan. They have put together those factors that will help someone looking at retirement in the near future to make personal preparations for life after work, including:
- Cultivating interests outside work
- Leading a healthier lifestyle
- Revitalizing family relationships
- Spending more time with spouses
- Embracing spirituality or meditation
- Nurturing friendships and making new friends
