A great retirement isn't just about having your financial situation in order.

It's easy to be preoccupied with stock portfolios, 401(k) balances and saving options, but true happiness in retirement comes from simpler, more enjoyable things like an active social life, family time and leisurely travel.

In Retire Happy: What You Can Do Now to Guarantee a Great Retirement, author Rich Stim and Nolo co-founder Jake Warner show you how to become rich in the ways that matter most. They encourage you to balance financial concerns with a lifestyle you always envisioned for yourself.

The book advises you on how to estimate real retirement needs and create a workable savings and investment plan. Even more importantly, it advises you to make personal preparations for life after work, including:

  • cultivating interests outside work
  • leading a healthier lifestyle
  • revitalizing family relationships
  • spending more time with spouses
  • embracing spirituality or meditation
  • nurturing friendships and making new friends

    All the money in the world won't make for a happy retirement unless you're satisfied with the rest of your life. So start today.

    Review:
    Covers all the bases -- health, finances, relationships and how to create a life worth sticking around for. (Bob Clyatt 2009-01-01)

    This is a straight-forward guide that explains the essentials that need to be addressed to ensure a terrific retirement. (Jenny McKinney About.com, Retirement Planning Guide 2009-01-01)

    Particularly useful is the section on calculating the amount needed for a long and secure retirement. (Library Journal 2009-01-01)

    If you are among the majority of people who have never tried to calculate their financial needs for retirement, this book is worth it just for these discussions. (St. Petersburg Times 2009-01-01)
