The Greatest Lesson You Learned From the Book

[Yulisa Sanchez]

For me, the greatest lesson I learned from the book is to plan for retirement especially since our life expectancy has increased well beyond 65. Also, that having a late life crisis is essential to creating a shift or turning point that can change our lives for the better. This is an interesting perspective that is quite deep and resonated with me.

What stood out while reading the book was why it was good to plan ahead and not wait till the last minute to do so. In life, we are planners, directly or indirectly. We are able to either plan our day in a more organized manner or go through life without any direction. The way we plan for the day is the direction it will take, consciously or unconsciously. To plan ahead financially for retirement  we need to be financially strong.

I learned that we have to take control of our lives while we still can. We shouldn't wait until retirement to start making plans for the future.

I haven't thought about my plans for retirement before reading this book. I learnt how to go about retirement if I want to live a life where I won't be in financial turmoil after I retire.

That salary won't be enough, especially in your old age. You need something else. You need other streams of income.

I learned that while saving and investing for retirement, also spend on yourself. It’s very important. A lot will work, saving for retirement, only to die and those who didn’t work for it will spend that money. Take care of yourself, too. Eat healthy and affordable foods. No extravagant lifestyle.

From what I read, this book is aimed towards helping the ones that are about to retire. One important lesson that I learned from it is that insufficient planning will result to an unfavorable future.

The most important leads on it learned from the book is that u need to properly plan ur retirement so that, ithe can be fun filled.

I think that these issues should be taken from young people. Many people don't think about their future until it's too late. I think part of the problem is because there is not enough culture that focuses on retirement. It is very important to think about ourselves and not only about our immediate work. That's why I think this book is very good and should be read by the general public.

I think the most shocking lesson I learned from the book is that as the average American, relying on your pension or 401k is simply not enough. What did you learn from the book?

Right?? The system just tells you that you will work until 65ish and then you can retire. They do not tell you how much money you need to have in order to retire comfortably. I'm grateful I have been learning more about investing. I just wish I learned it 10 years ago.

[HeatherEi]

Living in America as a retired person is expensive, especially if you haven't planned your retirement that well.

Oh yeah. I have seen a lot of YouTube videos of Americans who have retired early but moving to cheaper countries so that their money lasts longer.

[Caroline Elizabeth 1]

I learnt that we should do things we're passionate about to make the most of life and our jobs. And also not to put all our eggs in one basket.

[KafeliKe]

The most important thing I took away from this book was the importance of planning, especially when it comes to retirement. This is so that they can live happy lives after retirement.

[Eriikeoluwa Nimi]

I learnt that the future starts now. Even as a youth, it's best to start planning one's retirement now.
