Book Reviews of Your Retirement, Your Way: Why It Takes More Than Money to Live Your Dream

Book Review: Beyond Dollars
Summary: 5 Stars

During my working years all of my emphasis has been on only one element of retirement, finance's. Certainly it is important but I began to wonder how would I spend my time. How do I give back? Can I add value to my community? What is really important to my family and me in this next life's phase? Will I be able to stay busy and productive or spend the majority of time watching the History Channel? Will I have a reason to get up each morning? Because of this uncertainly I have delayed retirement for the past two years.

Alan Bernstein and John Trauth have given me a process to determine my retirement direction. Although there is much to be done I'm planning on retiring next June. I feel comfortable that retirement is an opportunity to give back and add value. Much to my family's surprise, I'm looking forward to life's next journey. Retirement will only be the beginning not the end and a continuing learning process. Many thanks to "Your Retirement, your Way" for the nudge I needed.
