Publisher's summary

Most people think of retirement as taking an extended vacation. In fact, it’s more like running a marathon. But all too often, people only realize that after they start running.

Fortunately, with a little planning, you’ll be able to run that marathon easily — as long as you need to — for a happy, successful retirement.

In How to Retire and Not Die, Gary and Max Sirak walk you step by step through the process of winning that marathon and living your best retired life. Embark on a guided journey of self-discovery and learn to identify your Likes, Loves, and Hates. Understand what you truly need to be happy, and create a clear Plan for meeting those needs.

Create your ideal WishList, learn about the two pillars of successful retirement, and build the custom retirement plan that’s right for you. With a little patience and practice, you’ll be enjoying the retirement of your dreams.

Great advise delivered with wit and humor

My husband and I enjoyed listening to Gary’s retirement advise during a long road trip to visit family. His life experiences and practical exercises helped us look at retirement with a new perspective. I’ve recommended this book to several friends and colleagues. Everyone agreed the book was entertaining and thought provoking. Much better than listening to retirement advise that focuses only on financial planning. We’re in our early 60’s with plans to retire in a couple of years so this is a perfect time for us to begin making our lists as Gary instructs.

First part of book was strong. The second part not so much.

The three Ps are golden. The constant stories get a little corny after a while. There is a lack of research and a too heavy reliance on the author’s own experiences and biases.

Thanks for pulling me back from the brink!

I came into retirement like Bruno, minus the riches. It’s still a work in progress with your help, I may make it. Thank you!

Excellent advice

Some really good advice for preparing for retirement. Alot of information that isn't apparent when your first contemplating retiring.

Fun book for planning retirment

Not a financial book but a book on how to plan day to day retirement once you get there. Being somebody that has a lot of hobbies I thought I was prepared for this. After listening to this book I realize that I will need to plan a little to make all my wants and desires in retirement work.
Loved the enthusiastic and easy to listen to style of this author.

Not just a one time read!

I’ve read this book twice now and have used it more like a reference guide going into my third read! Sound advice, relevant stories and examples and good humored. Definitely helping me to my retirement marathon!
