Page turners don’t have to be fiction.

Retirement Researcher’s very own Wade Pfau has released four books that you will find not only to be informative, but genuinely thought provoking and absorbing.

Retirement Planning Guidebook

Planning for retirement involves far more than just saving money. In the Retirement Planning Guidebook, Wade Pfau walks you through the most important financial and lifestyle decisions you’ll face as you transition into retirement. You’ll learn how to align your personal retirement income style with strategies that make sense for you, explore key topics like Social Security timing, Medicare choices, tax planning, long-term care, and housing decisions, and gain clarity on how to turn your savings into sustainable income. This comprehensive resource is designed to help you take control of your retirement with confidence so nothing falls through the cracks. Whether you’re nearing retirement or already there, this guide will give you the foundation to make informed decisions and enjoy a secure, purpose-filled next chapter
When we properly consider the range of risks introduced after retirement, integrated strategies with insurance and investments can help support more efficient retirement income. Safety-first retirement planning helps to meet financial goals with less worry. I explain how to evaluate different insurance options and implement these solutions into a retirement plan.
Reverse mortgages have been surrounded by negativity. They were often mentioned alongside phrases like “last resort,” “out of money,” and “bad choice.” In 2014, intrigued by the seemingly universal bad rap reverse mortgages had cultivated, Dr. Wade Pfau began researching them in depth.


Naturally, this is an essential question for those approaching this important life transition. Essentially, if you wish to retire one day, you are increasingly responsible for figuring out how to save during your working years and convert your savings into sustainable income for an ever-lengthening number of retirement years.
