Welcome to Retirement Countdown

Welcome to Retirement Countdown, the website dedicated to helping you understand the financial and emotional issues you face in both saving for and living in retirement. Underscoring these issues is the book Retirement Countdown, written by best selling author and speaker David Shapiro.

These are challenging times for anyone facing the daunting reality of having to live up to one-third of their life or more after they retire. With 77 million baby boomers entering retirement age it is shocking to find that over 50 percent have no retirement plan and no idea how they will meet their post-retirement income needs.

Retirement Countdown (both the book and website) offer you hope and a plan of action. It’s a kick in the butt and a pat on the back at the same time. And unlike so many other books, websites or speakers which lead you to believe that saving for retirement is as easy as giving up a latte, Retirement Countdown prepares you for the hard work ahead and offers easy to use tools to establish, monitor and achieve your retirement goals. Whether you use the book, the website, or both, Retirement Countdown will help you live the retirement of your choice. It’s only too late if you do nothing.
