Your Retirement Masterplan

Jim Green · 2004
65/100
👎 Skip It

Jim Green's retirement guide is genuinely holistic — he treats the emotional, social, and practical dimensions of leaving a career rather than reducing it to a financial checklist, and that's valuable. But it's UK-centric, explicitly light on investment mechanics, and over twenty years old, which means a lot of its internet and lifestyle advice has simply been lapped by time.
