Not Just About Money

Don't let the title fool you. This book is not just about money, and it is not about traditional retirement. Just as the boomers changed societal norms and gender roles, boomers will change retirement. In fact, the word' retirement' is anachronistic and will go the way of other outdated words such as 'housewife', 'bread winner', 'head-of-household', and 'secretary.' The vast majority of affluent boomers say they want to work in retirement, which begs the question of ' just what is retirement.' The boomer generation is the healthiest wealthiest generation in history. Boomers will 'work' well beyond traditional retirement age by choice. But the whole notion of work will be redefined and flexible. This book is about a life well lived, about the last 30 years of our lives, which will be the best 30 years. This book is about the controllable predictors of healthy happy longevity.
