About the Book

"Engineering Your Retirement" helps engineers and scientists develop a plan for their safe and successful retirement. The book will examine important questions such as, "How much money will I need to retire?", "How long will it take for me to accumulate it?", and many others. It provides the tools and information needed for someone to answer those questions and to achieve a comfortable retirement on their own schedule. Issues that must be considered to achieve a successful retirement including health care, budgeting, inflation, portfolio requirements, investment allocations, selecting a place to live, and mortgage payoff, are examined. All issues are discussed from the unique cultural view of a technical professional; therefore, the book includes many charts, graphs, analysis tools, and equations. It also includes post-retirement activities of unique interest to technical professionals.
