Making proper retirement planning a priority sooner rather than later can help prevent you from making the big money mistakes that take you out of the retirement game--bad habits that, when perpetuated or compounded over time, yield bad results.

Today's retirees have access to newer tools to plan for and approach their retirement, but unfortunately many either don't use or don't know how to utilize them.

In their book, How to Win the Retirement Game, co-authors Bill McLaughlin and Kristin McLaughlin demystify retirement myths and help you learn how to augment your retirement savings and prepare for what may be the inevitable.

No single investment is bulletproof today, and retirees need more than one solution to keep their heads above water, stay in the game, and ultimately win. With the guidance of the McLaughlins, hope and uncertainty can be replaced with the peace of mind that comes from information, professional guidance, and a solid plan.
