The Wealthy Retirement Plan, a finalist in the Business Book Awards 2020 - under the coveted Specialist Book category, will change the way you think about your future, how and when you work and more importantly how and when you stop work.

Thinking about this now is crucial. Whether you plan to retire or loathe the concept of retirement, you still need a plan otherwise your options will be dire and it will be too late to make a change. Do you want to sit out your retirement in a stinky chair in a state-run care home, a burden on your family, or use the next 20-40 years to create new opportunities, pursue your passions, and have fun with the people that matter to you? We are living longer and our understanding of what retirement means needs redefining.

Unlike our grandparents, who collected their pension for a few years before passing away, we have got decades worth of having fun to plan for. Decades of opportunities and knowledge to share in new ways.

The mistake most people make is thinking that their pension will somehow provide them with everything that they need. The fact is, world governments can't cope with the effect of an increasing and ageing population, combined with the fact that many pension pots were wiped out during the last global financial crisis. It's time for you to take back financial control and start planning a strategy to create the Non-Traditional Retirement that you want. It's never too early to start planning.

Sadly, most people just don't know how to future plan for when they stop working in the way they are now. Successful entrepreneur, Vicki Wusche, shares her tried and tested 3-stage system for getting your finances in order, planning an investment strategy that works for you, in order to create the life style, you want and deserve. She clearly explains how to make your resources work harder so that you can reduce your reliance on your wages, to pay your monthly expenses, until the point you can step out of full-time work and ease into a Non-Traditional Retirement of your design.

Using the principles, tools and valuable resources that Vicki shares in this book, you will be able to plan and build the retirement you want - whether that involves more time for you and your family, setting up a new business or charity, sharing your skills with younger people or even helping your community. Retirement should be where real life begins.

Named as one of The Telegraph's top 25 most influential people in property, Vicki Wusche went from being a single mum on benefits to retiring wealthy at 48 because she created her Non-Traditional Retirement Plan. She now splits her time between her grandchildren, her business interests and writing and speaking on the topic of "Re-inventing Retirement", "The Wealth Paradox" and "What happens when the money runs out".
