Yet, it can also be a time of strain as we scramble to answer questions about our finances and decide where we will go next. One of the central questions is a matter of preservation: What can we do to make our finances last? If we break it down even further, it may look like several questions: How can we combat inflation? What do we do if the market dips? How will the tax environment affect our retirement lifestyle? What if I live longer than I anticipated? Have I prepared my estate to take care of my loved ones when I'm gone? Rick Clark deftly addresses these questions and many more, punctuating his research with personal stories of more than 35 years in the financial services industry. From Boy Scout to pilot to father, Clark draws from his many experiences to show that the retirement journey is about much more than adding numbers on a page. instead, it includes applying the right tools, knowing where you want to go, and having a trusty and reliable compass.
