Synopsis

You've done your bit for society and it's time to plan the great escape – do the things you always wanted to do. You are about to find out you've got the time, the energy and the money. All you need now is a little inspiration and to get organised. This book will help you do just that.

In your 50s and 60s you make financial decisions that will transform your life. You plan to leave work, sort out your pension and other investments, and pay off the mortgage. Then what? How about that world cruise? Or perhaps you want to sell up and move to the coast. You could retire abroad. You might even want to use the tax-free cash from your company pension to start your own consultancy and have a second career – doing it your way this time.

Whatever your aspirations, Wealth After Work is written with you in mind. The last thing you need is a dull grey guide to the twilight world of pensioners. This book will show you the scenic route to the best years of your life. It looks at all the tough issues you need to address and does it with style and ease.

 

Wealth After Work

Isn’t it time you planned your great escape?

About this title

Review:

"Make these (retirement) the best years of your life by taking Debbie Harrison's wise advice."

Active Life

"For anybody who views investment as a jungle, Wealth After Work is machete, guide and survival kit combined. If all personal finance books were this interesting, informative and accessible, the subject might be more readily compared to a walk in the park."
Julian Marr, Editor, Bloomberg Money

"Wealth After Work is in a league of its own. Debbie Harrison's excellent book provides advice on the financial and the emotional preparation you need to make the transition from full-time employment. An invaluable route-map for planning your great escape from the Nine to Five. "
Marianne Curphey, Executive Editor, Guardian Unlimited Money

"A superbly practical book, written in an engaging, entertaining and highly useful way. Any book which starts with a quote from Monty Python and ends with information on how to complain demands to be read. Debbie Harrison is the only author in the UK who writes financial books with the sort of panache and credibility usually associated with novelists. This book appeals to consumers of all ages; you don't have to wait until you're retired to read it."
Lawrence Gosling, Editorial Director, Incisive Media
