Finding the Courage to Retire

The road to retirement often has more twists and turns than the country roads of the Ozark Mountains near Springfield, Missouri, the area in which financial advisor Bruce Porter has spent his life. Navigating such a road usually requires additional knowledge, and often no small amount of courage. Here in his first book, Porter addresses many of these retirement-related issues. Among them: creating streams of sustainable income that can last as long as you do; understanding options available under Social Security; understanding the intricacies of Medicare and supplemental insurance coverage; financing possible long-term nursing care; preparing an estate plan. Foremost among the elements of Porter's roadmap to retirement is an emphasis on retirement investment options that emphasize security, protection against loss of invested principal and the potential for growth.
