Book Overview
For most people, retirement stirs up more fear than freedom. Questions circle in the middle of the night: Have I saved enough? Will I outlive my money? Can I ever really stop working? Financial advisor Edward Gaskey has spent nearly three decades helping clients move past those questions into a retirement built on clarity and confidence. In Creating Your Next Chapter, Gaskey walks readers through the same process he uses with real clients: taking an honest financial snapshot, building a reliable income foundation from Social Security and pensions, protecting against inflation and taxes, and putting a plan in place for insurance, estate planning, and long-term care. But the book goes beyond spreadsheets and formulas. Gaskey argues that a secure retirement also requires a clear sense of purpose, since money without meaning rarely produces the life people actually want. Readers will learn how to calculate what they will really spend in retirement, how to think through the "bridge years" of working, or not working, in early retirement, and how to design a thirty year vision instead of just a thirty year budget. Each chapter combines practical financial strategy with real stories from Gaskey's practice, showing how clients moved from uncertainty to a plan they trust. Whether readers are five years from retiring or already there and second-guessing their choices, Creating Your Next Chapter offers a clear, step-by-step path to trade fear for confidence, and to treat the next stage of life as an opportunity instead of a countdown.
