What Color Is Your Parachute? FOR RETIREMENT
SECOND EDITION
Planning a Prosperous, Healthy, and Happy Future
JOHN E. NELSON and RICHARD N. BOLLES
In this weak economy with its rising health care costs, declining home values, and dwindling savings, many older Americans have been forced to rethink their retirement. The need has never been greater for people to plan now for the life they want—and that’s precisely what this timely update, inspired by the world’s bestselling career book, What Color Is Your Parachute?, can help them do.
This second edition of What Color Is Your Parachute? for Retirement helps readers plan early and well for the next stage of their lives while addressing the tough new realities of today’s economic environment. Using current research from the fields of economics, medicine, and psychology, the book delivers a comprehensive approach to life planning and provides readers with the tools they need to map out and pursue their ideal retirement.
