Whether you have a savings and/or retirement plan in place or not, the financial seas not only
can
get rough, they're
guaranteed
to get rough since we average a recession every six to seven years. Is your financial ship prepared to weather the imperfect storms of retirement, when every 1 to 2 percent misstep you make related to an investment, tax, or allocation represents many thousands of dollars of financial pain? This book was written to help you safely navigate through the little storms as well as the big doozies, using gripping stories featuring the author's father-a swordfisherman who captained the Andrea Gail until just months before it sank in the Perfect Storm.
