<p>"Mitch Anthony has emerged as one of our most trusted guides for the second half of life."</br> <b>—Marc Freedman, Founder/CEO,</b> Encore.org <p><b>It's not just about making a living, it's about making a life!</b> <p>Almost two decades ago, financial visionary and bestselling author Mitch Anthony gave us a new way of thinking about retirement. Mitch started a revolution by showing us that everything we <i>thought</i> we knew about retirement was wrong: that we needed a <i>New Retirementality.</i> Today, we are facing a very different kind of retirement—fewer pensions, escalating healthcare costs, and inadequate savings are causing many of us to fear that retirement will come much later than expected, or may not happen at all. Rest assured, the situation isn't nearly as bad as you might think! <p>Offering a message of hope, <i>The New Retirementality, Fifth Edition</i> is your roadmap for navigating your journey to a rewarding retirement. While most books dwell on outdated concepts of Return on Investment, Mitch shows us that <i>Return on Life™</i> is a far more fulfilling and achievable approach. This latest edition is packed with more engaging anecdotes, practical advice, and inspirational suggestions than ever—including an innovative new strategy called <i>Life-Centered Planning™</i> which focuses on personalized financial and retirement planning. <i>The New Retirementality</i> will help you rethink retirement, enjoy your life, and plan for the future you deserve.
