Money for Life by Robert Sheard

Sheard redefines the concept of retirement as an issue of financial independence that can be achieved at any age. He spells out clearly, as no book has before, exactly how to set up and reach personal financial and lifestyle goals through savvy investing. Designed for boomers now in their peak earning years, the book cuts through the complicated formulas and actuarial tables to show readers how to figure out exactly how to plan for and achieve financial independence.

Eschewing the traditional approach to retirement at 65, the book acknowledges that boomers are in a hurry. They want to get on with their lives, change careers, take sabbaticals -- in short, to pursue their dreams. By abandoning the age criteria and formulating a new approach to retirement, Sheard makes this possible. Using the techniques he made famous while with the Motley Fools, Sheard develops a framework that treats individuals as self-sustaining foundations, living off a well-invested nest egg. He clearly shows the reader what steps to take in order to make financial independence possible.

Mr. Sheard gained a broad following at The Motley Fool. His audience will undoubtedly be interested in>Money For Life. He is now an investor columnist with the Microsoft Network.
