Who this volume is for

Someone standing on the far shore, looking back. The hard part is no longer accumulating; it is deciding when to stop, what to spend, and what to give away while you are still here to see it land.

What you'll learn

• How to decide when to stop working — and why the question is rarely only about the number.
• What is safe to spend, and why the order good and bad years arrive in matters more than the average.
• How to give while you are still here to watch it land, rather than only afterwards.
• Beneficiaries, estates, and writing the last few instructions well.
• What an annuity actually does, and who it suits.
• How to enjoy what you built without feeling you are dismantling it.

Principles and categories throughout — no specific stock, fund, coin or product is named anywhere in the book. That is deliberate.
