Retirement Reboot: Commonsense Financial Strategies for Getting Back on Track

For millions of Americans, the COVID shock has brought retirement saving to an abrupt halt-now it's time to get back on track. Even before the pandemic, a large share of households by Americans over age fifty faced the threat that their living standards would decline sharply in retirement. In the wake of COVID-19, these numbers will surely worsen. In Retirement Reboot: Commonsense Financial Strategies for Getting Back on Track, finance writer and regular New York Times retirement contributor Mark Miller offers practical strategies for Americans to improve their retirement prospects. If you're nearing retirement age and worry you haven't saved enough, Retirement Reboot will walk you through the core decisions to make now to improve your retirement outcomes-even if retirement is just a few years away. You'll learn how to make a plan, think through the timing of retirement, optimize Social Security, navigate Medicare, build savings, and tap home equity. You'll also explore ongoing strategies, such as careful budgeting, generating income from work even after retirement, planning for long-term care, and leveraging special assistance aimed at low-income workers. If you have low savings, or none at all, Miller's simple steps can help you make the most of your remaining working years and reboot the retirement you always imagined.

Investing Amid Low Expected Returns: Making the Most When Markets Offer the Least

Investing Amid Low Expected Returns provides an evidence-based blueprint for successful investing when decades of market tailwinds are turning into headwinds. For a generation, falling yields and soaring asset prices have boosted realized returns. However, this past windfall leaves retirement savers and investors now facing the prospect of record-low future expected returns. Emphasizing this pressing challenge, the book highlights the role that timeless investment practices-discipline, humility, and patience-will play in enabling investment success. It then assesses current investor practices and the body of empirical evidence to illuminate the building blocks for improving long-run returns in today's environment and beyond. It concludes by reviewing how to put them together through effective portfolio construction, risk management, and cost control practices. In this book, listeners will also find: the common investor responses so far to the low expected return challenge; extensive empirical evidence on the critical ingredients of an effective portfolio: major asset class premia, illiquidity premia, style premia, and alpha; discussions of the pros and cons of illiquid investments, factor investing, ESG investing, risk mitigation strategies, and market timing; and coverage of the whole top-down investment process.

[Spanish] - El Juego de la Vida y Cómo Jugarlo

'El Juego de la Vida y Cómo Jugarlo' es un libro escrito por Florence Scovel Shinn, una autora y maestra de la Nueva Era. Este libro se encuentra en el género de autoayuda y desarrollo personal, y ofrece una perspectiva espiritual y práctica sobre cómo enfrentar los desafíos de la vida y lograr una vida plena y exitosa. La premisa central del libro es que la vida se asemeja a un juego en el que las personas tienen la capacidad de influir en sus experiencias y resultados a través de sus pensamientos, actitudes y creencias. Shinn sostiene que nuestras creencias y pensamientos son fuerzas creativas que influyen en las circunstancias que enfrentamos. A través de anécdotas, historias y ejemplos, la autora explora cómo nuestras actitudes y enfoques pueden determinar si experimentamos éxito, felicidad y abundancia o si nos encontramos con dificultades y limitaciones. El libro aborda temas como la ley de la atracción, el poder de la palabra, la importancia de la fe y la confianza en uno mismo, y cómo superar obstáculos mediante una mentalidad positiva y enriquecedora. Shinn también destaca la importancia de la gratitud y el amor propio en la creación de una vida plena y significativa. A lo largo del libro, Shinn proporciona ejemplos de cómo las personas han transformado sus vidas al cambiar sus creencias y actitudes. Aunque su enfoque es espiritual y metafísico, también ofrece consejos prácticos sobre cómo aplicar estos principios en la vida cotidiana. 'El Juego de la Vida y Cómo Jugarlo' ha sido considerado un clásico en la literatura de autoayuda y desarrollo personal. Si bien algunos críticos pueden encontrar sus ideas simplificadas o enfocadas en la positividad superficial, su enfoque en el poder de la mente y la actitud para moldear la realidad ha resonado con muchas personas a lo largo de los años.
