It's Not About Being Cheap. Living the Savvy Life isn't about being a cheapskate, a miser or a tightwad. It's about having security and peace of mind by spending less than you make. It's about knowing where you stand financially on a daily basis so you can make intelligent fiscal decisions. It's about being penny-wise on the things that are less important to you so you can spend money on the things that are important to you. It's about choosing to purchase only the things that you love and make you happy.
It's about cooking at home more often so you can occasionally splurge on dinner at your favorite restaurant. It's about creating an environment in your home that is warm, comforting, and expressive of who you are. It's about having a wardrobe made entirely of clothes that fit and look great on you. It's about enjoying your time off even more because you planned for it and know you can “afford it.” Although Living the Savvy Life is filled with ways to save money, it isn't about frugal living. It's about finding, attaining and maintaining balance. Are you ready to start Living the Savvy Life? |

By considering the retirement stories of the Delany Sisters, Lee Iacocca, Katharine Hepburn, Jimmy Carter, and Arthur Ashe, the authors offer insights, key concepts and conclusions for everyone who is retired or planning to retire.
Some messages contained: How retirement today is different because of dramatic increases in life expectancy and profound changes in what it means to be retired. How we can plan for retirement in a world of uncertainty and rapid change. The role of health in retirement, and what we can do if health fails. Retirement is a transition to the "second half" of adult life, and this book tells how we can make this new stage of our lives productive and satisfying. A great read for anyone considering retirement, forced into retirement, or already retired. |
