Product Description
About the Book "Customize . . . don't minimize . . . Your Retirement"© is a self-help guide to assist you in mapping out your journey into the retirement years. No longer does retirement mean just "kick-back" and lead the leisure life. Most of us would not feel fulfilled by doing little. Careers typically have given us a sense of purpose. Perhaps, because of this, about 80% of Boomers state that they will be working in some capacity during their retirement years. In retirement, we want to continue having a life filled with enjoyment; but also, one of purpose and a feeling of being valued by others. Given that the transition into retirement is an individualized journey, it deserves your personal attention to make it "all it can be." Life can be complicated and retirement will involve new challenges, as well as opportunities for change. Whether it is relationships with spouse and others; what to do with your time; creating a new identity; working, not working or changing careers; making health and housing choices; or managing the financial potholes; this very readable book, containing many unique and thought-provoking exercises, is guaranteed to help you focus and create ways to build a happier future.

Special thoughts about a "very Important subject"

SPECIAL THOUGHTS ABOUT A VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT,
by Bill LeGray, June 1, 2010.

Dee, and Don;

Retirement is truly a "Customizing Job", and for a couple merging two different life styles and desires, it can be challenging. With 20 years of Pre-, and 10 years into, Retirement under our belts, the need for course changes have lessened. We have found ways through the "7 Paths" (you have so aptly identified), and to say more gets too personal. Certainly, proactive Grand-parenting has played a role, and we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary last year with family and friends.

One thought for you, which I stumbled onto while reading a prospectus for a short Lifelong Living Retirement Planning class is: "One may wish to be especially selective about entering group discussions regarding any of the 7 paths (i.e. not doing so with just anyone). Certainly, some paths demand more attention than others, and focusing for expertise may depend on circumstances. Your Guidebook facilitates handling a couple's special unique needs very nicely. It is a very valuable comprehensive digest with much timely information. With your Study Guide, a couple can truly "customize", rather than just "act out" someone else's prescriptions during their last years together."

Best wishes for continued success,

(Carol and) Bill LeGray
An excellent overview of successful planning for retirement.

I found this book to be a very helpful way to look at how to be a success in retirement. In particular I found the chapter on Financial Planning to be one of the best comprehensive summaries I have ever read. Besides telling you what the various important considerations are it also enables you to determine what you can expect in the way of estimated lifetime income from your savings and investments. This is a very necessary calculation to know.
Beyond Excellent - A Must Read!

Reviewer: Loretta Polsky,
I read it and I loved it. As the author of several career books and as a founder of the largest career transition organization worldwide, I found this book superior to any that I have seen in the retirement field. The authors have put forth an excellent guidebook to getting from here to there. It is comprehensive, covering every aspect from finances to visioning to action to hitting the target. The best part of this book is its easy step-by-step approach. Whether retirement is near or far or right now, CUSTOMIZE...DON'T MINIMIZE...YOUR RETIREMENT is a must read. Customize. . . don't minimize. . . Your Retirement: 7 Paths to Explore Possibilities, Choices and Your Future Happiness Loretta Foxman Polsky
makes a great gift

Reviewer: E. Gordon,
I gave the book as a gift to my parents and they were very grateful. My mother really loved it because she didn't know how to raise a number of the issues surrounding their retirement with my Dad. But due to the comprehensive nature of the exercises in the book they were able to have very meaningful discussions and my mother was relieved and reassured. Since my father has been ill lately, these in-depth conversations have become even more important and timely.
Thoughtful, thorough and extremeley useful!

"Customize,,,don't minimize...Your Retirement" is truly a book that lives up to its title and the goals of its authors. It helps the reader to think seriously about the issues all of us face going into retirement and the ramifications of the choices we make,not only for ourselves but for our loved ones.

It is well-orangized, provides useful resources, and engages the reader immediately. It presents options and guides the reader, through carefully designed exercises, to explore the many possibilities retirement holds...if we are prepared.

Family and friends would greatly benefit from reading this book. It is clearly written with valuable insights and observations. I would highly recommend it to
individuals facing retirement and to professionals who work with them.

It would also be a great gift for all family members!
