Coming Soon: Master Your Retirement, 10th Anniversary Edition

It is estimated that about 425,000 Canadians will retire each year by 2020.*  But for many, it will be a retirement that includes debt, according to recent reports on the proliferation of reverse mortgages**.  Are Canadians planning soon enough for the one big question most worry about: will there be enough? A new edition of the best-seller Master Your Retirement by Douglas V. Nelson will help.

The dilemma is this: most people want to have the most after-tax income today to live their desired lifestyle, but life is expensive, especially when food, clothing, taxes and shelter costs rise faster than wages.  On the other side, they want to  have confidence and security of knowing you will never run out of money, and that their portfolio won’t disappear due to normal market fluctuations.  These are the issues tackled in Doug’s book Master Your Retirement. It’s published by Knowledge Bureau and available in early February.  Pre-orders are available now.

In Doug’s engaging style he nudges the reader towards a singular vision: Don’t just “do” retirement…instead “Master Your Retirement”!

This book is about drawing the right amount of income from each source at the right time so that you achieve real results such as:

• A consistent and reliable income
• Lower taxes, lower fees and a lower risk portfolio
• Great confidence, peace of mind and predictability.

But, he warns, there are three major problems with most “retirement planning” approaches today:

• The most important objectives of the retirees are undefined.
• The most significant costs in retirement are ignored.
• Financial decisions are limited by the investment products used to achieve goals, and this is often directly dependent on the license held by the advisor.

Drawing the right amount of income from each source at the right time is critical to your long-term financial security and for minimizing risk and tax. Your goal is to end up with the most tax-efficient retirement outcome with purchasing power when you need it. Discuss all of your options with your professional advisors by understanding:

• The killers of income and wealth.
• The retirement rules.
• How to effectively navigate the phases of retirement.
• How to master the retirement process.
• Practical strategies for growing, preserving, and transitioning family income and wealth.

Coming February 2020, this newly revised and updated 10^th Anniversary edition of Master Your Retirement now includes an all-new chapter on issues and strategies for the incorporated small business owner. Learn from the masters, overcome the great killers of wealth and then autograph your retirement in your own style and in your own way.
