The Investment Answer changed my life. It gave me a framework for investing that was grounded in evidence, not emotion. Fifteen years later, I’m living proof that this philosophy works, and as I get closer to retirement, I couldn’t be more grateful that Dan has written The Retirement Answer.
You’ve worked most of your life to accumulate assets you hope will be sufficient to maintain your, and your partner’s, standard of living. But many factors are at play. Generating income from your assets is easier said than done. Depending on your personal background, the stock market may play an unwelcome role. And there are Required Minimum Distributions, Medicare, Social Security, and pensions that must be addressed.
Dan Goldie walks you through the entire process—flowing from one logical topic to the next—in simple, understandable language. He explains the decisions you must make, including the factors you should consider, and how you can thoughtfully address them.
There is no greater legacy than to meaningfully impact the lives of others. Dan has accomplished this with The Retirement Answer! I will be purchasing the book for my five kids who are approaching retirement.”
The Retirement Answer is an engaging book offering fundamental and comprehensive preparation for pursuing the goal of a good retirement. Dan Goldie delivers the foundation needed, framed within six key decision areas covering the entire scope of the retirement solution. His prose is clear and direct without technical jargon. The investment content is consistent with modern finance science, informed and enriched by practical communication experience from 35 years of financial advising implementation. It alerts and explains the important rules, regulations and tax issues which govern the retirement process. The Retirement Answer will serve well as an ongoing reference to consult until and through retirement.
Wherever one is in their lifecycle—beginning student to beginning retiree, the reader is in for a treat: Enjoy!
