Almost everyone knows they need to save for retirement—the sooner, the better. Yet, many people didn’t, or have saved too little, or didn’t start early enough.
If you are one of them and want to catch up, this book provides practical guidance to help you:
- Understand the nature and scope of the problem.
- Know the challenges you face.
- Perform a retirement readiness check-up.
- Identify your options and choose those that make the most sense for you.
In Redeeming Retirement, Chris offers you hope by giving you the information you need to put a plan together and move forward with the confidence you can retire with dignity.
From Readers
“Redeeming Retirement can be a lifesaver for people who don’t understand the basics of planning for a dignified retirement. The author’s straightforward and humorous writing style makes the book enjoyable and captivating to read. I’m one of those that need to “catch-up” for retirement, and he provides all the information in an orderly, concise, and practical way that is truly a retirement-saver for my wife and me. He takes the mystery out of how much should be saved for retirement, how to achieve that goal, and how to overcome challenges along the way. If you don’t have a clear financial plan for retirement or would like a fresh perspective on your current plan, I highly recommend Redeeming Retirement!”

“I have been reading a lot more on retirement as I get closer to retirement years, and Redeeming Retirement is one of the best books I have read on the subject. It is particularly directed toward those who are nearing retirement and need to do some catching up. It is a great resource – positive in its approach, practical in its applications, and creative in its solutions. I will be referencing it often and have already recommended it to friends who are also getting closer to retirement.”
