Stop planning for retirement. Start designing what’s next.
Most retirement books focus on hitting “your number” and sailing into the sunset. This one is different.
Written by husband-and-wife financial advisors Sarah K. Charles and Jim Charles, CFP®, CFA®, with more than sixty years of combined experience, this book tackles the questions that truly matter when work ends:
-
Who am I when I am no longer defined by my job title?
-
How do I spend money without guilt after decades of saving?
-
What gives my days meaning when meetings no longer fill my calendar?
-
How do I navigate Medicare, taxes, and estate planning without losing my mind?
This is not about retiring. It is about rewriting.
Through real client stories, including their own, the authors reveal why traditional retirement planning fails most people and offer a revolutionary approach that puts your life, not your portfolio, at the center.
Inside, you will discover:
-
Why the “4 percent rule” and other retirement myths could be sabotaging your future
-
The Three Tax Buckets strategy that gives you control over your retirement income
-
How to create a “retirement paycheck” that feels like real income rather than raiding savings
-
The hidden emotional challenges of leaving work and how to navigate them
-
Dynamic Income Planning with guardrails that adapt as your life evolves
-
Why most estate plans fail, especially after the SECURE Act, and how to fix yours
-
How to find purpose beyond the paycheck using the Financial Ikigai framework
Whether you are five years from stepping back or already struggling with the “now what” of retirement, this book offers the clarity, tools, and confidence to create a next chapter worth living.
No jargon. No judgment. No asset minimums required.
Just honest, actionable advice from advisors who believe everyone deserves a financial plan that honors their whole life, not just their balance sheet.
Perfect for anyone who wants more than endless golf and cruises and is ready to design a life they will not want to retire from.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
