Book Description
Any attempt by governments to stem the tide of early retirement will need to focus as much on employers' management of human resources as on the impacts of social policy. This report focuses on this previously neglected area: employers' policies and practice as a dynamic force in retirement decisions. Drawing on data from a series of organisational case studies that situate the individual's decisions and experience in the context of employers' age management policies, the report examines how the retirement process is currently managed in a range of organisations; identifies barriers to effective planning for retirement; considers whether individuals feel there is enough choice when facing decisions about retirement and addresses the concerns of both researchers and academics in the fields of human resource management and social policy.

Book Description
“Wise, practical, wryly good-humored, and immensely helpful, this book is a must-read for the millions of boomers entering retirement age.” —Jane Mansbridge, PhD, Adams Professor, Kennedy School, Harvard University A Couple’s Guide to Happy Retirement is the most comprehensive book devoted entirely to relationship issues in retirement. Not a treatise on money management, this is a much-needed guide to the psychological aspects of retirement and how to make your retirement relationship happy, fruitful, loving, and successful. Written by a psychologist specializing in work and family issues, and drawing from actual accounts from retired couples, this book helps you prepare emotionally for the dramatic life changes during retirement, coaches you to find new purposes to your life beyond work, nurtures the relationship with your companion to strengthen your friendship and love, explores sexuality after retirement and how you can enjoy each other as much as you did as a younger couple, and recommends strategies to successfully deal with differences around money, time together versus apart, housework, and family relationships. It is crucial that couples prepare themselves and their marriages psychologically for what could very well comprise a quarter of their lives. A Couple’s Guide to Retirement shows you how to do that—so that you’ll have the time of your lives. “An extremely helpful perspective in meeting the challenge of aging and retirement, young or older.” —James I. Ausman, MD, PhD, and Carolyn R. Ausman, BSS, executive producers and creators of The Leading Gen® “A wise, optimistic, straightforward, and practical guidebook . . . I highly recommend it.” —William Pinsof, PhD, founder and past president of Family Therapy Institute, Northwestern University

Book Description
Retiring can be and has to be a happy time. You can take lengthy vacations, create your own schedule and spend the money you'd been saving.It is true for many retirees, in general, people normally begin their lives happy, only to have their sense of well-being drop in adulthood. There's no surprise here: Raising a family, working long hours and making future savings are high-stress endeavors. After you reach 65, although happiness will pick again, not peaking till you reach 85. A recent survey of MONEY readers noted that 48 percent of retirees reported being much happier during retirement than expected, and about 7 percent reported disappointment. So then how you can ensure and maintain this blissful trend? Financial security can help as well as good health. A recent financial survey noted that 81 percent of retirees noted health as one of the most important elements for a happy retirement. Other triggers are somewhat less obvious. Let's look at how you can retire blissfully.

Book Description
Leaving full-time employment to enter retirement often requires a 180-degree change––in mindset and behavior––from the way you managed your time and money previously. This is especially true for Baby Boomers who may have never experienced adult life without a full-time job and have been practicing the same habits since their 20s. These life transitions can be looked at as if they require “flipping a switch.” Some changes happen suddenly like an on/off switch, while others happen over time like a “dimmer switch”. Some “switches” are voluntary like spending accumulated savings, while some are mandatory like taking required minimum distributions starting at age 72. And to make matters more confusing, there are also lifestyle and social changes to consider as well. Flipping a Switch discusses 35 financial, lifestyle, and social transitions you’ll encounter upon entering retirement, including: • Full-time work to new pastimes • Saving money to spending money • Receiving a paycheck to creating a “paycheck” • Funding retirement savings plans to taking required minimum distribution withdrawals • Accumulating possessions to downsizing Everyone has unique “switches” to flip. Flipping a Switch: Your Guide to Happiness and Financial Security in Later Life offers important information and guidance new retirees need before undertaking their new life. Each chapter includes a “How to Flip This Switch” section with suggested action steps. Nationally known speaker, author, and Certified Financial Planner® Dr. Barbara O’Neill will help you develop a plan to become your best future self.
