Retirement Income – Implications on Retirement Planning

Although recent events in the economy have impacted retirement security, a trend emerging in our society will help people achieve financial security and financial freedom in retirement.

Every so often, I take some time to reread portions of my book to see if what I wrote is as applicable today as it was three years ago when Securing a Retirement Income for Life was first published. Today, I reread the Preface. I can honestly say that everything I wrote in the Preface three years ago could very well be written today.

Everything I said about the new retirement and how significant changes over the years will have profound implications on the retirement planning process is in fact happening, especially with regard to managing your retirement savings. For many people, the recent events affecting the economy over the last five has impacted them personally as well as financially. In many cases, the effects have been enormous. I mentioned this risk on the first page of the Preface and how it can have a tremendous impact on retirement security.

Fortunately, there is a shift or a trend emerging in our society, in response to the changing retirement landscape that will help more people achieve their goal of financial security and financial freedom in retirement.
