This book isn't your typical retirement planning book. It's not a "how-to" for the younger person who is just starting to save and invest for retirement. Nor is it for someone older with one or two million saved for retirement, a fat pension, large inheritance, or lots of real estate income. Redeeming Retirement is for the roughly 50 percent of people middle-aged and older in the U.S. who anticipate retirement but are financially unprepared for it or who may not know how unprepared they really are. It's also for those who, because of job loss or under-unemployment, health issues, investment losses due to a recession, the housing crash, or factors related to the Coronavirus pandemic, find themselves in a much less tenable financial position to fund their retirement than they once were. The book will also help "late bloomers" who have generally been doing well with their finances, except in planning for retirement. Catching up can be more challenging than you think, even if you enjoy a relatively high income and access to good retirement savings plans and financial products. But as the book explains, it can be done, especially if you combine strategies that can have the greatest impact on your situation. Redeeming Retirement provides hope and help in the form of practical guidance to help you: Understand the nature and scope of the problem Know the challenges you face Do a retirement financial readiness check-up Identify their options and focus on those that make the most sense for you Put an action plan in place to redeem your retirement Depending on your situation, you may not be able to fix everything. But Redeeming Retirement will give you the help and hope you need to put a plan together and move forward with confidence. Then, by working your plan with whatever time, resources, and tools at your disposal, you can put yourself and your family in a more viable position once you retire-you can "redeem your retirement."

"A ... new philosophy and ... guide to getting the most out of your money--and out of life--for those who value memorable experiences as much as their earnings"--

Dave Ramsey explains those scriptural guidelines for handling money.
