SALEM, Ore., Oct. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ With the recent government shutdown and debt ceiling debates fresh on their minds, individual investors particularly those who are nearing or have just entered retirement may be wondering what will happen when the government bumps up against the debt ceiling again in February 2014. While stocks surged this week on the news that Congress had reached a deal to reopen the federal government and avert a potentially catastrophic default, experts say investors should brace for more volatility as lawmakers continue to butt heads over spending. But according to Ron Kelemen, a fee-only CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER professional with the Salem office of The H Group, Inc., planning and saving for retirement does not have to be an anxiety-ridden experience.
In his new book, The Confident Retirement Journey: Your Personal and Financial Roadmap (November 2013, Confident Vision Press, LLC; paperback ISBN: 978-0-578-13054-5, $19.95; eBook ISBN: 978-0-578-13055-2, $9.99), Kelemen offers prescriptive advice that can help those either nearing or already in retirement create a personally and financially fulfilling future.
"Retirement is a journey, not a destination," said Kelemen. "And like any other journey, it requires planning and proper preparation. Above all, it takes confidence that can only come from an honest look at your situation, separating facts from advertising and taking charge of your own future."
In nine conversational and informative chapters, the long-time financial planning practitioner and independent financial advisor, provides practical action steps to help readers gain the confidence needed to enjoy a secure and confident second half of life.
The Confident Retirement Journey will soon be available through online booksellers and through the author's website, www.confidentretirementjourney.com. The author's website also includes endorsements from industry thought leaders and published authors. The book is written in accessible language and includes worksheets and action items designed to engage any reader who wants to successfully plan for her or his financial future. The book is available in two formats: paperback, $19.95; and eBook, $9.99.
