Helpful information. I neverd thought of retirement in this way
Has excellent information. Some may be offended by the religious things inside, but it doesn't bother me. I liked the way it made me think about a new way to think about retirement.
Good, practical information
It really helped to take the mystery out of retirement. There's always the question of "how much is enough", what is reasonable, and what contingencies should you prepare for. This laid a very good foundation to enable me to answer those questions.
Solid Advice for Financial Peace
Several top Christian financial teachers share helpful insights for those entering the second half of life. The book is practical, realistic and encouraging. The style is informal but the content is invaluable. The teaching gives those who haven't planned well some useful tools for getting on track before it's too late, and it gives those who've already been planning wisely some useful tools for making sure their plans are solid.
About the reviewer: Stephen Bloom is a Christian lawyer, speaker and author of The Believer's Guide to Legal Issues
This book is a re-issue under a new name!
Good book, yes. Really good, even great for thought and practice in the years approaching and during "retirement". Blue and Burkett do not see retirement as a time of leisure and recreation, but a time of service and mentoring. They give a definitive philosophy for creative, fulfilled living: "Living until you die", my sister and I call it.
But it is also a good book when purchased through Amazon under the name: The Burkett & Blue Definitive Guide to Securing Wealth to Last: Money Essentials for the Second Half of Life (Hardcover) 2005. In fact, it's the same book. And, it's being bundled together with itself, so to speak, for a "discounted" price!
I bought the 2005 version and, not knowing it was the same book in paperback with a different name, the 2007 version. Good thing I wanted to pass it along to my sister, too.
Biblically Sound Advice for those in the 50s on Finance
This book is a must have for those who are approaching retirement. It is well written with a wealth of advice that will help you understand your financial needs as you get closer to retirement. Worth every penny. Great insight into a Christian way of saving and giving and yet enjoying your retirement years.
