Customize. . . don’t minimize. . . Your Retirement: 7 Paths to Explore Possibilities, Choices and Your Future Happiness

Retiree — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:10:17 +0000

About the Book "Customize . . . don't minimize . . . Your Retirement"Ã�Â© 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.

Women Confronting Retirement: A Nontraditional Guide

Retiree — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 03:10:17 +0000

Women Confronting Retirement showcases the voices of thirty-eight women from a wide range of professions, ages, and life situations as they confront the need to redefine who they are when they leave the workplace. The women of the Baby Boom generation were the first to enter the professional world in large numbers, and the first such generational cohort to encounter the challenges of retirement. The contributors urge women to reach for different approaches to this major stage of life, to find new self-images, to balance meaningful work and creative play, and to reform public policies to support enhanced opportunities for retirement. Many of these women were involved in the key activist movements of the sixties and seventies, and their work has often been an extension of their social commitment. Defining themselves through their careers, they have confronted traditional models at every stage of their lives and are now confronting their own negative stereotypes about retirement. The stories in this book compellingly chronicle the fears and hopes of women who have only begun to think about retirement, those who are in the process of retiring, some who have been retired for several years, and a few who have decided that retirement is not for them. Unlike traditional "how-to" books, Women Confronting Retirement makes clear that there are no right or wrong answers to the many questions this uncharted stage of life poses for women of the Baby Boom generation and those who follow. These women help us explore the next steps with the same courage they brought to every aspect of their lives before reaching retirement age.

The choice to cash out pension rights at job change or retirement [An article from: Journal of Public Economics]

Retiree — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 03:10:17 +0000

This digital document is a journal article from Journal of Public Economics, published by Elsevier in 2006. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.Description: Most pension plans allow a lump sum distribution upon job separation, enabling a subsequent cash-out. In the 1992-2000 HRS, 13% of entitlements were cashed-out, representing 5.3% of entitlement dollars. Among plans with a lump sum option, 20% were cashed out. Cash-outs can be rational and we broadly confirm hypotheses for cash-out determinants, but not that individuals with short expected longevity should wish to disproportionately cash out. Fears of adverse selection into the pool of pensioners with annuity income thus appear unfounded. While we find only limited leakage, it is concentrated among individuals vulnerable to poverty in old age.
