We've been answering your tough questions since 2004

Survey: Retirement and Planning

Before you reach the age of 50, retirement is a concept. After 50 it is a reality. And it is damned uncomfortable for most of us.

In October 2008 I wrote a series of articles about financing retirement. Those articles generated huge responses. The arrival of the current recession took me down a few other (emergency) avenues. It's time to get focused on this subject again.

This survey has no right or wrong answers. It has just one BIG question. I'd really value you answering that question with a couple of details, including your age, job, etc. This is the kind of thing I am looking for:

I am 51, male, married, and live in Ringwood. I am self-employed. I am not sure if I will have enough money to survive retirement.

I don't quite know how to calculate how much I need either.

I have some Retirement Annuities, and a pension, but I don't trust the numbers my insurance company is giving me.
I will read each answer individually. Then I will use some clever software that extracts the concerns raised most often. And then I will start writing about the top issues first.

You may remain anonymous. If you choose to share your name and email address I will share the results of this campaign with you. I will also share the writing and ideas that develop as a result of this survey.

You can stop my emails at any time with just one click at the bottom of any one of them. I will never share your email address. And I will not waste your time.

Once you've done the survey, please check out the Retirement Project pages here. They include calculators to make sense of the numbers, and a bunch of detail (in words of one syllable) from a neutral fellow not selling life assurance products..

What are your BIGGEST concerns/issues/worries/fears about retiring?

Pring And Conditions for Business Warriors

I was very humbled, emotional and grateful when Pete gave me a call after my cries of help. What came through to me was his absolute understanding and empathy of my situation.

I could swear that he actually CARED! THAT is a very rare attribute indeed? He could look holistically at my situation and give me advice that has given me hope and specific actions that I can implement.

I first got to know Peter Carruthers through his book "Crashproof your Business". I was blown away by his revolutionary approached to safeguarding ones business and implemented his strategies with zest.

I am probably one of the few gals with more credit cards than pairs of shoes, all of which are used for "bridging finance" only (not to finance shoes!) and this has helped my business survive some of our toughest times.

The forum has been invaluable, and the support immense. I am proud to be a Business Warrior!

I have known Pete for several years & his seminars, newsletters and website always offer practical insights that are easy to understand.

He speaks directly to the issues that I face in business & it's great to know that there are lots of people out there who are in the same boat as me!
