“If you’ve ever enjoyed a visit to Mitford, you’ll relish a visit to Fairacre.” —Jan Karon After many years of teaching in the charming English village of Fairacre, Miss Read settles down to what she hopes will be a relaxing retirement. But, of course, it is not entirely so. Having bid farewell to her pupils at Fairacre School, Miss Read finds herself as busy and in demand as ever: on holiday in Florence, helping with church and school affairs, and offering a kind ear to her often eccentric neighbors. Soon she is counseling Henry Mawne on his thorny marriage; gently resisting her own perennial suitor, John Jenkins; and finally discovering her talent for writing. Once again, Miss Read’s affection for the minutiae of village life, her love of nature, and her good humor make her excellent company.ally important. And if we can’t live in her world, it’s certainly a comforting place to visit.”—USA Today

The topic of retirement becomes increasingly compelling as the U.S. population ages. It's easy to find books about how to plan financially for those years after careers end, but Breaking the Watch focuses on the many ways of creating a life, not just making a living, as a retired person.This book follows women and men from a rural American community as they approach and experience the first years of retirement. Joel Savishinsky focuses on the efforts people make to find meaning in a stage of life American culture often views in a confused or disdainful way.In conversations and stories, 13 men and 13 women demonstrate a deep commitment to defining their own retirement. They bring to their mature years a diversity of backgrounds, interests, and responsibilities. They include former teachers, librarians, doctors, farmers, lawyers, bankers, mail carriers, and secretaries. Some are married, others divorced or single; many have children and grandchildren, but some have neither. Their finances run the gamut from the modest to the munificent, while their health ranges from robust to disabled. From an examination of the "rites of passage" that marked their exit from full-time work, Breaking the Watch moves on to consider how to plan appropriately for retirement; renegotiate ties to friends, family, and community; and create a sense of passion—be it for t'ai chi, travel, painting, or politics—that will drive a new sense of purpose. These intimate glimpses into real lives allow a rare understanding of the retirement process.

Many people retire every year with a lot of money but very few enjoy financial peace of mind. That's because financial peace of mind is so much more than just financial. For some retirees, a bad day in the markets can make them feel anxious. Others use their wealth to manipulate family and then wonder why they are all alone. Then there are those who wonder why their retirement feels so unfulfilling, like they are living the same boring day over and over again. Are you retired or preparing for retirement? Would you like to replace your retirement anxiety with confidence and comprehensive peace of mind? Retire to the Fullest demonstrates how Financial Peace of Mind (FPOM) comes about when you recognize how money impacts you beyond financials—emotionally, relationally, and even spiritually. Like a tabletop on four legs, comprehensive FPOM rests on the health of each of these four components. When one is unhealthy or non-existent, the table wobbles, creating an imbalance and a sense of instability. This book examines each of the four components, diagnoses common dysfunctions around money, and provides practical help to strengthen each leg so you can experience the financial peace of mind you’ve worked so hard for. You can retire to the fullest and enjoy the life you worked so hard for.
