A Retirement Primer: Asking and Answering the Right Questions

After 32 years as the principal decision-maker for employee pensions and benefits, John Buxton and his wife, Pam, put all the lessons they had learned about retirement to the test. At age 70, they retired. Their 46-year careers had been focused on leadership and service, and one aspect of their plan for retirement was to continue to serve others. Their journey into retirement provided the ideal opportunity to document and share with others the best way to navigate the retirement process.

John Buxton s A Retirement Primer is a perfect retirement planning playbook for every adult interested in balancing their personal financial security with wealth creation for their children and families. It s an easy read and breaks down financial concepts in simple and accessible ways. And though the ideas have universal applicability, readers can develop a more tailored plan based on their personal goals and their comfort with risk. Buxton s personal story, as an educator, is a relatable one - and will resonate with anyone who has worried their salary could not guarantee a long term safety net. Everyone, from age 20-65, should read this book and take good notes! --Emily McCann CEO Citizen Schools
