You're going to live 30 years longer than your kin in 1900. But are you going to live fully every day of that windfall? How can you convert those "free" days into a joyous, purposeful, exciting "great second life"?
That boon of extra life can be a bane if you don't plan ahead!
Most Americans have a vague sense that they should set aside some surplus cash now so they will be more comfortable later. And they know that puffing three packs a day or years of rampant inactivity rewarded with half gallons of Rocky Road or Triple-X Hooch before bed hint of a lesser bonanza.
Why not reverse the focus and create a positive, exciting life plan that allows you to define your own "second life" dreams, then determine how and when you will make those dreams come true?
Gordon Burgett to the rescue! In 256 fun-packed pages, the author helps the reader create their own future life map. His straightforward guide for singles (or couples) helps them (1) review where they are now: skills, money, and health; (2) create a "Dream List," (3) prioritize and time-peg those dreams, (4) put them into doable action steps, (5) factor in the resources they have to fund them, and (6) put their resulting Action Plan into motion!
The book is primarily designed to be used by those in the 40-60 age bracket, but is also an excellent life planning guide for either anybody younger saving for their future or for seniors at any age. Its 18 forms, charts, and worksheets make the planning easy and fun. And the website backup both keeps the guide current and the information growing forever and the forms instantly downloadable for immediate use.
Gordon Burgett, at 65, is already into his "second life." With 25 books and 1,700+ articles in print, is he ready for the rocking chair? Hardly? In 2003 he published three new books, including his first novel, and launched a new speaking program. He apparently read his own book!
During his first wind, Burgett was an university dean, taught widely, directed a CARE program in Colombia and Ecuador, played minor league baseball, led a gold hunt on the Paushi-Yaco (Upper Amazon) River, and spoke professionally 100+ times annually for almost all of the past 20 years.
This book helps you find your own second wind. Its step-by-step example shows the way...
