As the title might imply, this book explains the difference between just investing for retirement and creating a customized, diversified plan that can be used to navigate through retirement. A well-defined, integrated Retirement Lifestyle Protection Plan asks and answers the following questions: Have I saved enough to retire comfortably and safely? Where can I invest my savings with safety and good growth? What happens if there is a divorce or the premature death of a spouse? What about legal protections? Is there any way around the probate nightmare? How can I easily transfer an estate to my heirs? How can I protect my estate from being eaten up by the cost of long-term care? How can I keep the IRS from inheriting 50 percent of my estate? It also involves estate planning, tax planning and asset protection professionals who can address and apply the current realities of rising taxes and inflation, longevity, rising health care costs, and much, much more.
