Get a Life: You Don't Need a Million to Retire Well

The financial-service industry wants you to believe that in order to avoid financial destitution, you need to put aside huge amounts of money that you -- let's say it together -- "should have begun saving years ago."<br/>Not true, states Warner, the author of Get a Life. Although a sensible savings plan makes good horse sense, many other actions and decisions will determine whether you enjoy your retirement years.<br/>Get a Life shows you how to beat the anxiety surrounding retirement, and to develop a plan to make your golden years the best of your life by:<br/>* developing family relationships<br/>* maintaining and creating friendships<br/>* improving health<br/>* keeping active<br/>* developing a robust curiosity for the world<br/>* realistically calculating how much money you need and how to secure it<br/>Interviews with successful (and successfully) retired people illustrate how to put Warner's advice into action.
