Protection Before Prediction
The Questions That Help You Turn Retirement Savings Into Lasting Income and Greater ConfidenceBy Matt ShermanRecorded TrackLength2h 54m
About this audiobook
What if the biggest risk to your retirement isn't the stock market, but not knowing what your money needs to accomplish?
In Protection Before Prediction, Matt Sherman draws on more than 30 years of experience in insurance and financial services to challenge conventional retirement thinking.
Rather than starting with investments or financial products, Sherman encourages readers to ask better questions: How much income will you need? What happens during a market downturn? Will your savings last 30 years? And how can you protect your lifestyle without sacrificing financial opportunity?
Through practical insights and straightforward explanations, this book explores retirement income, market risk, inflation, taxes, healthcare, and financial independence.
Discover why a confident retirement begins not with predicting the future, but with preparing for it.
