Getting old is inevitable. It is a fact. Every one – no matter who they are, how rich, or how healthy they may feel – will grow old and reach retirement age someday. No one is exempt. The best thing to do is to prepare for it, and the Xlibris book, “Choices: Planning the Rest of Your Life,” shows exactly how to do it.
Choices is a self-help book written by Leslie Baldwin designed to help young people prepare for the inevitability of life after retirement, and to provide senior citizens with guidelines for managing their life in retirement and beyond. The author emphasizes the importance of planning in changing people’s view of the aging process.
Baldwin presents strategies that lead to physical, emotional and financial health and well-being by pointing out the necessity of maintaining good physical health in old age, preparing contingency plans for possible hospitalization, and arranging for personal care whether at home or in a hospital. The author goes a step further by advising his readers to prepare for their own funeral, making Choices a comprehensive retirement planning book.
This self-published title helps readers shift from complete independence to partial assistance to custodial care when slowed or limited by certain disabilities. In essence, Choices is all about “choices” – informed ones – and discovering how to age with wisdom and grace by learning from the experiences of others, without relinquishing the right to make personal decisions.
