You Can Retire in a Weekend Says America's Retirement Strategist

Personal financial expert, Bill Losey is the author of Retire in a Weekend! The Baby Boomer's Guide to Making Work Optional and boldly claims anyone can learn how to retire in a weekend. The book is based upon real life and filled with honest feedback from pre-retirees.

Wilton, N.Y. (PRWEB) February 27, 2008 -- There are many books on personal finance and retirement but none based on feedback from over 5,000 pre-retirees and retirees nationwide. Over the past year, Bill Losey, author of Retire in a Weekend! The Baby Boomer's Guide to Making Work Optional, surveyed his clients, hundreds of people who've attended his retirement and investing workshops, as well as thousands of subscribers to his free, award-winning newsletter, Retirement Intelligence®. With more than 12,000 responses, Losey discovered their biggest retirement concerns and the most significant questions they wanted answered.

Most couldn't make sense of all the information. They didn't know what did or didn't matter to their situation, and they didn't know how to synthesize and apply it all. Most importantly, they were hungry for straight talk, not some fear-based sales pitch. As a result, my book is short, simple, easy-to-understand, and laced with humor.

"When I listened to my seminar attendees express how they were confused, and sometimes overwhelmed with all the conflicting financial information available, I knew I had to do something," Losey explains. "Most couldn't make sense of all the information. They didn't know what did or didn't matter to their situation, and they didn't know how to synthesize and apply it all. Most importantly, they were hungry for straight talk, not some fear-based sales pitch. As a result, my book is short, simple, easy-to-understand, and laced with humor."

Losey's book provides straight answers and sound advice in a user friendly, humorous format. It is easy to read in a few hours over the course of a weekend. It shows people how to do what they want, when they want, where they want so they can truly make work optional.
