The New Retirement : Smart Tips for Boomers ISBN: 9781877460098 Release: 05-2008 Subject: Retirement/NZ Financial/Self Help Format: Paperback RRP: NZ$29.99 |
‘We live in uncertain times. … We have become accustomed to a lifestyle that is wildly extravagant compared to that of only a generation ago.’.... BILL JAMIESON
How can we successfully negotiate the maze of conflicting financial demands, debt and investment portfolios, and manage professional advisers with their own agendas?
In The New Retirement, best-selling author Bill Jamieson expertly guides the reader through the potential pitfalls of retirement. He traverses the entire landscape of retirement in New Zealand, from investment strategies to health-care costs, from home computers to holidays overseas – and even tackles the normally taboo subjects of life expectancy and sex.
Mapping out a coherent plan for retirement may seem daunting, but if approached methodically, with jargon stripped away and realistic goals adopted, retirement can be the most fulfilling and enjoyable period of our lives.
‘This excellent book is clearly written and logically spelled out: the language is easy to digest and the writing style fluent. The writer is not just knowledgeable, but endowed with abundant commonsense, compassion and empathy. I learned a lot.’.... DAVE CULL

Bill Jamieson recommends that you download the following interactive Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, in order to calculate your particular financial needs in retirement.
The Retirement Calculator Spreadsheet is based on a series of assumptions regarding age, initial capital, earnings and inflation rates, and annual spend. These assumptions can be altered to cover individual circumstances. The use of the spreadsheet is discussed in chapter 2 of the book (see p. 28), and the spreadsheet manual can be found in the book’s Appendix (see p. 142).
