How To Survive Financially Without a Pension

The author describes some of the ways a person can prepare for financial survival during retirement years without an employer-provided pension. Since corporate pension plans have been changed and/or eliminated in the business world, the worker is faced with self-sufficiency in regard to an income in later life.

Some of the circumstances that have created this insecure financial environment are described, and some of the thought processes and financial preparation a worker must face in order to be financially secure are outlined.

The author describes the need for mental and financial preparation for "going it alone" if jobs vanish, including long-term planning and preparation to continue working until the person is no longer physically able. The central thread of this book is advice to the reader to "Be Prepared" in all aspects of his/her financial life prior to actual retirement years.
