As the Baby Boom generation retires, it becomes increasingly questionable as to whether social security can be relied on to support all Americans in their old age. No matter how politicians adjust Social Security in the future, it is much better to take responsibility for one's future and retirement needs today! Author Jeffery E. Townsend applies his years of experience as founder and president of Townsend & Associates, a financial planning firm specializing in retirement planning, in The Road to Retirement: Everything You Need to Know for a Successful Retirement. Chapters address how to accurately project retirement income needs, understand pension plan options, make money in capital markets, plan taxes, assess insurance needs, plan one's estate, and much more. Emphasizing the importance of having a written plan rather than just "winging it", The Road to Retirement is enthusiastically recommended reading for anyone in the workforce. Also highly recommended is Townsend's previous financial guide, "The Master Plan".
