“THE FOUR STEPS OF THE ‘EXPERT WAY’ WILL HELP YOU ACHIEVE A BETTER RETIREMENT- GUARANTEED”
Packed with straightforward, hard-hitting, practical advice and easy to understand information the Retirement Planning Expert 2023 is fully updated for the 2023/24 UK tax changes and includes hundreds of hints and tips to help you adapt and thrive and achieve a better lifestyle in retirement. This book will show you the expert way on all of the following and more:
- is it time to put yourself first? Helping you with any re-set moment
- plan more to achieve a glidepath retirement and not a cliff-edge retirement
- help with the inflation tidal wave of 2023 and associated cost-of-living crisis
- downsizing costs and upsizing leisure, holidays, hobbies and personal relationships
- translating complex financial “information” on pensions and savings into steps that you can actually understand and act upon in your 40s, 50s and 60s. It’s never too early to start your plans
- tax opportunities and risks in 2022/23 and on into 2023/24
- balancing your finances and maybe starting that retirement glidepath five years earlier
- avoiding the scammers and pointers to stay within the UK financial services safety net
- earning more – whether you need a small amount to supplement a pension or want to ditch a corporate job and go out on your own
- getting to grips with the difficult but unavoidable topics of wills, lasting powers of attorney and inheritance tax- these are not as difficult as they might seem at first
- and the special pressures on the “sandwich generation” – people coping at the same time with helping both young-adult dependants and elderly relatives in need of care.

Clear advice, well structured. Like having an expert in the room!
Oxford reviewer –
I can wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone approaching retirement with a view to planning their future. The author is extremely experienced, authentic and knowledgeable and present all the information needed to successfully explore and plan all aspects of repurposing your life after leaving full time employment.
As the author states, treat the book as a workbook to plan and implement actions. I am working through the chapters one by one and getting to grips with aspects of finance I never knew existed!
Everything from tax, pension and even health is covered and I came away from the seminar he gave excited about the future as opposed to dreading the big R !
Not a verified purchase; given a copy as a part of the author’s training course for a work event but independently reviewed and thoroughly recommended.

The book starts with the Aristotle quote: “It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives – choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”
If you want to shape your retirement destiny – this is a definite “must read”.

This is exactly the book I needed. The author distills a huge range of advice to four steps.
1. Plan More
2. Save More
3. Earn More
4. Live Better
…which may sound obvious but the detail is what makes it so useful. It’s bang up to date (It’s published on the Amazon platform so the book is physically a well-bound paperback, nicely formatted, 275 pages of text and tables.)
It’s the price of two beers (in Hampshire!!) and worth every penny.
