From Work to Eternity: A Pension Planning Handbook

From Work to Eternity: A Pension Planning Handbook

The purpose of this handbook is to help you step back, and take a longer view, to re-focus so that you can envisage the whole of your life's journey, the one that begins with your birth and ends with your demise. From that perspective, what might have seemed like your destination, the end of your working life, is revealed as a pause, not an end. What lies ahead, the rest of the journey, is your post-employment life, which we call retirement.

If you start now, that part of your life can be the best part of the trip. To achieve that means making a rest-of-your-life plan, a guide to all that remains of your life's journey. This handbook is meant to be your guide.
