Exiting the Rat Race

Are you retiring FROM a rat race, or retiring TO a rat race? We usually think of retirement as a reprieve from the hectic workday world, but once you start planning through the logistics of retirement, it becomes clear: retirement can be a rat race all its own. What role should the market play in your retirement plan? How will you handle the cost of health care, or what if you need long-term care? How can you live the lifestyle you want and still leave a legacy? In this, his first book, Jeff Vogel handles these questions and many more, helping readers think through how they will approach their own situations with the characteristic deft and nuance that have defined his practice. With stories based in personal experience, Jeff and his son, Jon, relate the challenges of planning for retirement and discuss how to build strategies that can help you exit the rat race.
