How Do I Get There from Here?: Planning for Retirement When the Old Rules No Longer Apply - Softcover
Synopsis
No matter how far or close you think you are to retirement, this book is your one-stop guide to help you plot your direction for the coming decades.
Not long ago everyone knew what the word retirement meant--retire at age 65 after 40 years at the same job and coast through your golden years courtesy of a comfortable nest egg. But now, age expectancy is higher, savings are slimmer, and people change jobs more frequently. Clinging to this outdated concept of retirement only gets you a room in your kids’ house. Your retirement is going to require an incremental approach to planning--and you must begin now. This requires conscious engagement, diverse interests, and the ability to adapt.
In How Do I Get There from Here?, readers will first be directed how to review all their assets--both tangible and intangible--so they can get an honest assessment of where they are right now. Then a journey through self-reflective questions and exercises will:
- walk you through imagining your future,
- identifying skills you’ll need,
- and learning how to prepare for inevitable twists and turns along the way.
Stop clinging to an ancient and stereotypical idea of retirement. Decades of nonstop leisure is not only unreachable for most, it’s not even truly desirable. Begin now charting the path for a unique, dynamic future you can look forward to!

About the Author
George H. Schofield, Ph.D., is an author, speaker, and developmental/organizational psychologist who advises clients on retirement and career planning plus life crafting after age 50.
From the Back Cover
Retirement can be as rich and rewarding as you've always envisioned. The challenge is figuring out how to craft the life you want when so many variables are unknown: When will you stop working? What income streams can you create now? What will bring joy ten years down the road? How will you deal with the inevitable twists and turns?
How Do I Get There from Here? challenges you to rethink your retirement and your life by cultivating new outlooks and skills for thriving in the years ahead. Going beyond traditional financial planning, the book poses questions and offers insights and exercises for developing new networks, interests, activities, and roles. Your active, purpose-filled retirement life depends on it. "Reading this book is like having an extended conversation with a wise, trusted counselor and a new friend. He shares with us his personal experiences and countless stories of people who have successfully learned to change course throughout a long second half of life. If you've just passed 50, you can't afford to miss the trustworthy lessons in this book, and if you're like me, decades past that milestone, you'll welcome all this wisdom and wish you had encountered it long ago."--William A. Sadler, Ph.D., author of The Third Age: Six Principles of Growth and Renewal after 40 "As I turned the pages of How Do I Get There from Here?, I found myself constantly whispering to myself: 'Now that's helpful.' Remarkably, It happened on every page. 'Now that's helpful.' The overriding qualities of Schofield's book are ones of reality-based practicality and provocative self-reflection. He invites--no, insists--on personal accountability in shaping our future lives. In so doing, he taps into something incredibly meaningful and inspiring: self-empowerment and the possibilities inherent in 'never done.'" --Fred Mandel, Ph.D., CEO, Arts and Leadership; senior economics contributor to Marketplace, American Public Media George H. Schofield, Ph.D., is an author, speaker, and developmental/organizational psychologist who advises clients on retirement and career planning, plus life crafting after age 50."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
