Let's Retire Retirement - by Derek Coburn & Sara Stibitz (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Reimagine the traditional idea of retirement and discover how to create a working life you love.

We've been told that traditional retirement is the ultimate goal, that life will be better in the future than it is now. We've bought into this idea so thoroughly that we continue doing work we don't enjoy right now for the promise of better days once we retire.

In Let's Retire Retirement, financial advisor Derek Coburn challenges the traditional concept of retirement and offers a compelling vision for a more fulfilling life. He explores the origins of retirement, debunking outdated myths and presenting a new approach that aligns with modern realities. Through relatable anecdotes and thought-provoking insights, he guides readers to rethink their long-term goals and embrace a life of continuous growth and satisfaction.

Let's Retire Retirement is more than just a guide--it's a manifesto for living a balanced, joyful life without the constraints of a traditional retirement plan.
