Just as baby boomers started to retire, the stock market crashed (2008), and now it threatens to do so again. Workers of all generations have to wonder: Will I have enough money to retire and maintain a decent standard of living? Can I pursue my retirement dreams and new opportunities, or will I have to continue to work far into old age?
Fearless Retirement Investing is a practical guide for those worried about having enough money to retire in style. Readers will realize the need for a specific, personal plan-a job far too important to leave to most brokers or investment "advisers." By reading this book, readers can take control and regain confidence about the future.
This is not just another book about investments. The author-a well-known money manager and popular blogger-shares specific strategies and tactics developed over more than twenty years in the business. Readers will learn, step-by-step, how to develop and implement a personalized investment strategy, how to execute the plan fearlessly when the news gets bad, how to tame the inflation beast, and how to adjust investment allocations based on market changes. Most importantly, the book highlights the many pitfalls and traps that can cause individual investors to under-perform in the market.
As Fearless Retirement Investing shows, you do not need to be a trading genius to succeed. You do not need to spend more than a few hours a week to stay on top of your investments. With the insight and courage you'll gain, you can avoid excessive tinkering-the reason most investors lose money. Instead, you will be able to spend your time, now and in retirement, on what's important in your life.
Readers will:
- Develop a personalized retirement plan
- Learn the simple steps to implement and maintain the plan
- Avoid the common traps that fool even the smartest investors
