I want to share some really exciting news about a project that has, well, pretty much dominated my life for the last two years. It's for all of you who sometimes lie awake wondering if your money will last as long as you do. This fear is pervasive – more than 84% of Gen-X’ers (and nearly as many Boomers and millennials) say they’re "concerned or terrified" about the day their paychecks stop. And it can hit you even if you've done everything right, saving consistently, maxing out your retirement accounts and sacrificing today to make tomorrow possible. The problem is...no one has ever helped you tackle the hardest question: How do you make your money last as long as you do – and actually enjoy it along the way? It's something you can't afford to get wrong. If you do, you’ll either run out of money too soon or you’ll discover too late that you didn’t use your money as much as you could have to enjoy your life. I don't want either of those things to happen to you. Which is why I dug into finding an answer and then explaining it in my new book, "The Forever Paycheck." "The Forever Paycheck" introduces a revolutionary concept: instead of managing a pile of savings you’re terrified to touch, you convert some money into a steady monthly paycheck that lasts a lifetime. The results are remarkable – people who do this spend more (often double what they thought was possible), stress less and actually enjoy the retirement they worked so hard to build, all without running short of funds. New research even links a "Forever Paycheck" to better health and a longer lifespan. Mel Robbins, NYT bestselling author of "The Let Them Theory," has already read it and says: "‘The Forever Paycheck’ is the clear, step-by-step plan that will help you stop guessing, stop stressing, and start using your money with confidence." I want this book in all of your hands because it's packed with actionable advice that works for everyone, regardless of age, portfolio size, or risk tolerance. Now for the ask: "The Forever Paycheck." releases on September 8th, but if you know anything about the book world lately, you know that pre-orders are very, very important. So, please – if I've helped you save for retirement, understand the world of money, or improved your financial life in any way – support this effort. Over a 40-year career, I truly feel this is the most important work I've ever done. Preorder here: https://lnkd.in/eneGcmhz
Sounds like this demystifies the saying “it takes money to make money” with actionable steps. Congratulations!
How would this work for the tens of millions of Americans who have little or no savings?
Congratulations! Is this a book about annuities?
WOW, when I see all these industry heavyweights order a book, it's wise to order mine... Just ordered
Congrats, Jean. Ordering and eager to read.
Excited to dig in!
Congratulations. You and Tom Hegna should collaborate.
Yes Jean Chatzky! This is exactly what I talk to clients about every day! The peace of mind that comes with an income plan that you cannot outlive is priceless.
“Terrified to touch” is such an important phrase. Many people reach the number financially long before they arrive there emotionally. The gap between having enough and feeling safe enough to use it seems far more common than most people admit.
