Two books that I enjoyed and recommend to those thinking of early retirement or semi-retirement are as follows: “How to Retire Early and Live Well With Less Than A Million Dollars” by Gillette Edmunds (www.theretiredinvestor.com) and “Work Less, Live More” by Bob Clyatt (http://www.workless-livemore.com/).
Edmunds’ book “How to Retire Early and Live Well” is an easy read and uses investment strategies employed by pension funds and translates those strategies in laymen terms. In fact, he exposes some of the myths that even I (a CPA) fell for!!!!! Edmunds also stresses the importance that you need to learn about investing rather than relying soley on others.
Clyatt’s book “Work Less, Live More” may bring out the bohemian in you. Let me warn you, if you are FED UP at work, this book may push you over the edge. Perhaps your desk will be empty early next Monday as you i-phone your resignation letter from the Fiji Islands!
I hope that these books provide you a nugget (or more) of insight about your financial future. Enjoy the books and good luck on reaching your financial goal.
