AARP Crash Course in Creating Retirement Income

Make Your Money Last Longer Than You Do (AARP)

By Jason, Julie

Publishers Summary:
According to the U.S. Census, Americans are turning 50 at the rate of 1 every 7.5 seconds, and living longer too. In the recent past, most of them would have relied on employer-funded pensions and Social Security to finance their post-career years. Not anymore: today, the majority of people contemplating retirement must actively plan for—and then provide for—their own financial futures. AARP, the most trusted organization for Americans over 50, can help readers accomplish that goal. Featuring easy-to-follow explanations and a wealth of real-life examples, AARP Crash Course in Creating Retirement Income helps readers take advantage of every available tool to make their retirement years the best of their lives.This second entry in AARP’s Crash Course series—the first, The AARP Crash Course in Estate Planning, has sold more than 50,000 copies—offers reliable, time-tested advice for people of every income level. Retirement expert and lawyer Julie Jason deftly guides prospective retirees through the process of evaluating their goals and needs, anticipating future expenses and managing current ones, and converting assets such as homes, 401(k)s, and savings accounts into retirement income. She exposes the truth about certain annuities that mean big commissions for the salesperson, but not always the promised income for life to the retiree, and guides readers through the latest products offered by the financial industry as it seeks to solve the retirement income puzzle. Using her expertise as a money manager, Jason explains to prospective retirees (no matter the size of their assets) how to structure and manage a portfolio so it provides the income they need, with enough growth to guard against inflation and whatever the future may hold. And, for those latecomers worried about their lack of savings, Jason offers comforting advice on how they might catch up.
