Early Retirement Plan and Investment Ideas is not only a book about retirement — it's an inspirational guide on how to enjoy life to its fullest. 

This book provides a holistic approach in explaining retirement readiness as it relates to the adequate financial resources needed to fund your retirement needs. Today, people worry that they’re going to run out of money in their older age as a result of health care needs or the rising cost of living. This won’t happen if you are able to maintain a diversified portfolio and squeeze higher payments from your assets, Social Security account, pension, home equity, and savings to raise the amount you have to spend and stretch out your money over many more years. 

The key to creating an active and fulfilling retirement goes beyond having adequate financial resources; it also encompasses all other aspects of life - leisure activities, physical well-being, mental well-being, and a host of other activities that keep you active as you age. In this book, Patrick Hogan guides you to:
