Hartwell B: Finding Purpose After
Retirement

Finding Purpose After Retirement

Contrarian Retirement Guide

What if the greatest risk in retirement isn't running out of money-but running out of healthy years before you truly live?
Most retirement books focus on one question:
"Will I have enough?"
Contrarian Retirement asks the more important question:
"Enough for what?"
You can build an impressive portfolio, follow every traditional retirement rule, and still arrive completely unprepared for the life waiting on the other side of work.
Because money can fund a retirement-but it cannot design one.
Retirement Is Not the Finish Line
In Contrarian Retirement, Ryan Scott challenges the conventional belief that retirement is a finish line reached after decades of sacrifice.
Instead, he offers a practical framework for creating a meaningful second half built around:Experiences
Relationships
Health
Purpose
Freedom
Identity
Community
Time


This isn't another book about protecting every dollar until the day you die.
It's about using your resources intentionally while you are still healthy enough to enjoy them.
Inside, You'll Discover How to:Stop postponing your best years for an uncertain "someday"
Turn savings into permission, experiences, and lasting memories
Prepare emotionally and socially for life after work
Strengthen the relationships retirement will expose
Rehearse your future before making irreversible decisions
Protect your healthspan-not merely your lifespan
Build purpose without creating another exhausting career
Design a retirement flexible enough to change as your life changes


Through 22 concise chapters, 10 dimensions of retirement readiness, and practical life experiments, Ryan shows you how to build ordinary days worth living-not merely a portfolio worth preserving.
What Makes This Book Different?
Traditional retirement planning treats wealth as the final score.
Contrarian Retirement treats wealth as a tool.
This is not a technical investment manual. It is life advice-not individualized financial advice-for people who may be financially prepared but still need to answer the biggest question:
What exactly am I retiring toward?
You don't need to escape your life before retirement.
You need to design a life you won't want to escape from afterward.
LIVE RICH. DON'T DIE RICH.

Live Rich Don't Die Rich

Hundreds of Tax Tips, Legal Write-Offs, Credits, and Loopholes

Deduct Everything!

Started saving late? Here's the honest, step-by-step plan to catch up and build real retirement wealth in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

If you're in your forties, fifties, or beyond and feel like you're behind on retirement, you're not alone - and you're not out of options. The Late Starter's Wealth Plan is a direct, no-nonsense guide built specifically for career-changers, midlife savers, and anyone who didn't start investing early but is ready to take it seriously now.

Instead of one generic plan, this book gives you three distinct, time-boxed catch-up strategies - a 5-year sprint, a 10-year rebuild, and a 15-year foundation plan - so you can follow the one that actually matches how much time you have left before retirement. Every chapter is built around a simple idea: the right moves depend on your real timeline, not a one-size-fits-all formula.

What's inside:

- An honest, step-by-step framework for assessing where you actually stand today
- How catch-up contribution rules for 401(k)s, IRAs, and HSAs work for savers 50 and older
- Three complete time-horizon plans: 5-year sprint, 10-year rebuild, and 15-year foundation
- How to optimize your 401(k): employer match, fees, and fund selection
- Traditional vs. Roth IRA strategy, spousal IRAs, and backdoor Roth conversions explained clearly
- How to build a diversified portfolio suited to a compressed timeline
- Managing risk as retirement approaches, including sequence-of-returns risk and glide paths
- Non-portfolio levers that matter just as much: debt, housing, healthcare, and Social Security timing
- A complete Catch-Up Plan Checklist, annual review worksheet, FAQ, and red-flags-to-watch-for appendix to keep you on track for years to come

The Late Starter's Wealth Plan

Confused about when to file for Social Security? You're not alone - and one wrong move can lock in a smaller check for the rest of your life.

Somewhere between your mid-fifties and late sixties, the question starts nagging at you: claim now, or wait? Take the guaranteed check today, or hold out for a bigger one later? For married couples, the decision gets even more tangled - spousal benefits, survivor benefits, and two claiming ages to coordinate instead of one.

Your Social Security Roadmap cuts through the noise with a clear, step-by-step framework for understanding how the system actually works - so you can make a confident, informed decision instead of guessing.

Rather than printing dollar figures that go stale the moment tax tables update, this book teaches you the stable mechanics behind every claiming decision: how your benefit is calculated, how early claiming permanently reduces it, how delayed retirement credits permanently increase it, and how spousal, divorced-spouse, and survivor benefits fit together. You'll finish with a framework you can apply to your own numbers, pulled straight from your free my Social Security account.

What's inside:

- How Social Security really works, from your earnings record to your Primary Insurance Amount
- The mechanics behind claiming early, at full retirement age, or all the way to 70
- Spousal, divorced-spouse, and survivor benefit rules married couples often overlook
- How working while collecting benefits affects your check (and when it doesn't)
- How Social Security benefits are taxed, and how to plan around it
- A clear overview of how Medicare enrollment lines up with your Social Security timeline
- The most common, costly claiming mistakes - and how to avoid them
- Illustrative scenarios showing how these strategies apply in practice
- A complete checklist, action plan, and twenty questions worth asking an advisor

Perfect for:

Americans in their 50s and 60s planning their retirement timeline, spouses trying to coordinate two claiming decisions instead of one, and anyone who's opened a Social Security statement and felt more confused than informed.

This book focuses on the durable rules behind Social Security, not year-specific dollar amounts that change annually - so it stays useful no matter when you read it. Every chapter points you to ssa.gov and medicare.gov for the current numbers.

Note: this book is educational and is not personalized financial, tax, or legal advice. Confirm your strategy with the Social Security Administration, Medicare, or a licensed advisor.

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY ROADMAP

Your money has a direction. The only question is whether you're steering it or drifting.For thirty years, financial advisor Rick Barnett has sat across the table from people at the most vulnerable moments of their financial lives. The 65-year-old whose hands are no longer steady enough to work. The widow unfolding statements her husband once handled alone. The high earner who somehow reached the edge of retirement with far less than the paycheck once promised.The same quiet truth ran through every story: earning money is one skill, and keeping it, growing it, and passing it on wisely is another skill entirely.Consider the evidence. Nearly 8 in 10 NFL players face financial ruin within two years of retiring. Most lottery winners are broke within a few years. Michelin-starred chefs who once cooked for royalty died with almost nothing. Talent, income, and even luck are no protection against a life without a plan. And a goal without a plan, as Barnett puts it, is just a wish.True North is the map and the compass for the second half of your financial life. Written in warm, story-rich prose instead of dense jargon, it turns decades of hard-won expertise into principles any family can understand and actually act on.Inside, you'll discover how to: <ul><li>Build retirement income that doesn't depend on your ability to keep working</li><li>Protect what you've saved from unnecessary taxes and avoidable mistakes</li><li>Handle estate planning and wealth transfer before responsibility shifts to the next generation</li><li>Weather market swings, rising costs, and health surprises without losing your footing</li><li>Leave a legacy of wisdom, not just wealth, because wealth without wisdom only multiplies anxiety</li></ul>This is not a book about beating the market. It's about building something durable: security that steadies the people you love when life is at its weakest and most uncertain.Whether you're years from retirement or already living it, whether you're managing a modest nest egg or a sizable estate, True North will help you find your bearings, hold your course, and create something that outlasts you.Because one day, someone you love will stand exactly where you stand now. What you built will either steady them, or leave them alone in the dark, wondering how they will make it through.Find your true north. Start today.

True North

Most people spend decades doing everything right: maxing out their 401(k), living below their means, and building a substantial nest egg. So why, once they finally reach retirement, do so many of them feel anxious instead of confident?

In The Retirement Paradox, Certified Financial Planner Ray Offenburger reveals why the very habits that make someone a great saver can become the biggest obstacles to actually enjoying retirement. Drawing on years of working with retirees who hit their savings goals but still couldn't bring themselves to spend, Ray walks through the ten traps that quietly sabotage even the most disciplined savers: playing it too safe with their money, freezing up over "just in case" scenarios, getting blindsided by taxes, scattering accounts across too many institutions, leaving Social Security money on the table, and more.

This isn't a book about chasing higher returns or finding the next hot investment. It's about something most retirement planning ignores entirely: the difference between having money and knowing how to actually use it. Ray's philosophy is simple. Real retirement security means having the financial confidence to sleep well at night and a reason to wake up in the morning, and most advisors only address the first half of that equation.

Through real client stories and practical, no-nonsense guidance, Ray shows readers how to identify which of these traps might be holding them back, coordinate the moving pieces of their financial life, and build a retirement that supports the life they actually want to live, not just a number in an account.

If you've done everything "right" financially and still feel like something's missing, this book will help you understand why, and what to do about it.

The Retirement Paradox

Your federal career comes with one of the most valuable benefits packages in America.

So why do so many federal employees reach retirement without fully taking advantage of what they've earned?

The Federal Benefit Gap is the space between having valuable federal benefits and understanding how to make them work together. It's where missed opportunities and seemingly small decisions can have lasting financial consequences.

Inside, you'll learn how to:Choose retirement timing with your pension and benefits in mind
Coordinate FERS, TSP, and Social Security effectively
Avoid costly FEHB, FEGLI, and survivor-benefit mistakes
Understand choices that shape your retirement income
Ask better questions before key retirement decisions



Whether you're three years from retirement or twenty-three, the earlier you understand your benefits, the more options you have.

Your service earned you this retirement. This book helps you make the most of it.

"In my years focused on fiscal responsibility and retirement security, I've seen how many of the biggest retirement mistakes relate to taxes, and federal employees are rarely warned about them. This book fills that gap. It's clear and candid about how to coordinate your pension, TSP, and Social Security so you keep more of what you've earned. Federal employees should read it before they retire."
-Hon. David M. Walker
Former U.S. Comptroller General and Public Trustee for Social Security and Medicare

How Federal Employees Can Turn Great Benefits Into a Great Retirement

The Federal Benefit Gap

Only 2% of Americans have both pensions and $1 million or more saved for retirement. If that is you, welcome to the 2% Club! This book was written for you.

In this book, you'll learn how to:Simplify and optimize your retirement with the "5 Pillars of Pension Planning"
Enjoy the full value of your pension (it may be more valuable than you think)
Decrease your tax bill through strategic Roth conversions and smart withdrawal planning
Plan for pension options such as lump sum options and survivorship options

Enjoy your retirement and spend more money (many in the 2% Club struggle with spending money)
Create a legacy that benefits your family and favorite charities


Having a pension puts you in a rare financial position that requires advanced planning. This book will help you become a better steward of what you worked so hard to build. You've already done the heavy lifting. Now is your time to retire with peace, purpose, and a plan.

Only 2% of the Population Have Pensions and $1M+ Saved

The 2% Club

What if there were one credible guide families could turn to when facing care for a loved one or preparing for their own future?

The second half of life brings challenges most families are never fully prepared to face: retirement, taxes, estate planning, Medicare and Medicaid, aging parents, caregiving, inheritance, grief, and loss. Some of these experiences will be hard no matter what. Others can be eased, prevented, or better supported with the right preparation. Clarity Before Crisis was written to reduce the overwhelm and help families prepare before difficult decisions become urgent.

Benjamin Bolen is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional who works as a wealth advisor, where part of his responsibility is helping families navigate these very issues. After living through difficult family transitions himself and guiding others through them professionally, he saw the same problem again and again: traditional planning was not enough. Families could have investments, insurance, legal documents, and good advice and still feel unprepared when life became complicated.

Traditional planning often treats each issue separately. Financial planning focuses on money. Estate planning focuses on documents. Healthcare focuses on medical decisions. Care providers focus on day-to-day needs. Families experience all of it together. Clarity Before Crisis brings those pieces into one resource, connecting the technical side of planning with the emotional, relational, and practical realities of aging, caregiving, and loss.

Through stories, mythbusting, practical examples, and clear explanations, this book makes complicated topics easier to understand and discuss. Whether you are giving care, receiving care, or simply preparing for what may come next, Clarity Before Crisis gives families one place to start, one resource to return to, and a clearer way to face the second half of life together.

Clarity Before Crisis

The sudden loss of a career can feel like losing an identity overnight, leaving you to question who you are
without the title that defined your life. Part of Rosalind Westerly's insightful book explores how job loss
transforms from a logistical challenge into a profound emotional and psychological crisis.

Career Change After Layoff at 50 is not a resume template, a list of interview questions, or a set of networking
scripts. Instead, it unpacks the complex emotions tied to career loss and provides actionable steps for personal
reinvention.

Through relatable scenarios:

- Identity Crisis: When years of professional identity are stripped away in an instant, leaving you
struggling to define yourself beyond your job title.
- Shattered Urgency: The moment when all your work feels meaningless, as if the tasks that once defined
urgency and importance have vanished overnight.
- Reassessing Priorities: How career loss forces a reevaluation of what truly matters in life, prompting a
shift from external achievements to internal fulfillment.

Every chapter delivers practical "overrides" to help you navigate emotional turmoil and regain your sense of
purpose. Start reading Career Change After Layoff at 50 today and begin crafting the next chapter of your life
with clarity and confidence.
