Planning for retirement and reaching a turning point in my life were two lessons I learned from this book. As a result of this class, I believe I have gained a better understanding of how to manage my finances.

It's true that one has to plan for retirement as soon as they can. After all, a big part of being successful is successfully planning and executing that said plan. However, I do also think that there must be more to life than living to work. It may be a utopic idea, but I also think it's worth looking for a job that one genuinely likes; otherwise, people would be miserable (and I would hate to live in such a world).

The greatest lesson I learnt here is right decision making.
The ability to plan ahead for one's life and still have fun while doing so.

There are many lessons to be learned from the book. But I think that the most resounding of them all is the importance of planning, and not getting carried away by it that you won't have fun while you're still young.

People should plan well in advance because retirement is not end of life. It is the beginning of a new phase of life and therefore requires ardent planning and composure of mind to live it to the fullest.

I think I learnt that it is necessary to plan for retirement .also retirement doesn’t determine whether life has ended or not there are still a lot of things an individual can still enjoy and have a wonderful time post retirement..life is what you make it and if you decide to not let retirement be a determinant of your life you will enjoy life more.

I found this book really informative, and it covered many topics that I hadn't ever thought of. I thought adding all the resources used and recommended was beneficial information. I wish retirement was a subject talked about much earlier in life, maybe even covered in college. The greatest lesson I have learned from this book is that without careful planning, the retirement years could be awful!.

This book talked about a lot of topics. It is educative because of the many things I learned from it. I learned what it means to have a plan and the effects of having a plan in the future. So, if you want to be successful in life, have a plan.

The best lesson I learnt is about planning for retirement. So many are working without thinking how they will be after the job. This book educates about that.

After reading the book, I have appreciated the author's argument of one not depending on one source of income, especially pension. Lifestyle changes at old age and cost of living increases. It is important for one to either create active or "unearned" sources of income, which will cushion them against unforeseen changes.

The majority of the people that work follow the ideology that says suffer now, enjoy later. This saying gives them the mindset to go into a job they don't like or enjoy, allowing them to suffer till they retire with a bulk pension before they can enjoy it. but I learned that we should find passion in what we do.

I learned from the book the importance of planning. I suggest that whatever we decide to do should be properly planned, this will help to shape us and give us a target, and it will also help to keep us in line till achievement has been made.

The greatest lesson I learned from the book is that it is okay to have fun. One should take the time to have fun and celebrate all successes.

I realized from this book that to achieve true inner peace, we do need to consider the satisfaction our jobs will give us and not just the income we will receive from them.

I learnt that even though we should be concerned about our future plans, we shouldn't focus on it so much we forget about all we have in the present. It's no fun being successful in the future and having no one to talk to. We should live in the moment while also planning out the rest of our lives.
