Retirement Game-Changers will help you navigate what could be the most fulfilling—or the most challenging—years of your life. In an engaging, thoughtful way, Steve Vernon offers detailed, practical advice on how to set realistic goals and achieve financial security, but he gives equal weight to your ‘social portfolio’ and how lifestyle decisions can shape a joyful, productive and comfortable retirement. Vernon’s ‘action steps’ that wrap up each chapter are worth the price of admission alone—and the retirement tips from his dog are priceless.”
