Phased Retirement – A New Concept

Phased Retirement is a book written especially for the Baby Boomer generation.

As Baby Boomers face the typical retirement, age, they begin to think about the income available in their retirement funds, current pension plans, whether they’ll take early retirement, will there be sufficient income in retirement to live comfortably, how to plan for health insurance and whether they want to continue to work, perhaps part time. They may be concerned about whether they’ve even planned for retirement in a way that will be beneficial.

These are valid concerns and this book serves as a comprehensive guide to help alleviate some of the concerns of a Boomer facing the retirement phase of life. This book also provides a general overview of what phased retirement is all about and how this new trend towards retirement can be approached to maximize it to the best advantage.

To be honest, before I read this book I hadn’t even heard of phased retirement. Now that I’ve read it, it makes perfect sense. Not every Baby Boomer who is approaching retirement age will have the funds to actually be able to fully retire. Not every Boomer wants to. Phased Retirement by Bart Rutherford offers options to planning your transition. I found the book very interesting and informative. While I’m on the younger end of the Baby Boomer range, retirement is something that still concerns me.
