"Award-winning financial advisor Ric Edelman reveals how exponential technologies will alter virtually every aspect of your life, with profound implications for your personal finances. Ric radically upends traditional financial planning, showing that you need not just one financial plan, but three -- one for now, one for later, and one for much later. You'll learn: why you're likely to live and enjoy good health much longer than you realize -- and the impact on your financial future; how you must alter your plan to shift from the familiar linear lifeline (school-job-retirement-death) to the new cyclical lifeline; the importance of Career Planning -- even if you're in your 50s or 60s -- and how to manage this transition without damaging your savings and investments or incurring debt; the one investment strategy you need in the 21st century, including how to invest in companies that are leaders in exponential technologies and how to generate income from your investments; why nursing homes are becoming obsolete -- and with them, long-term care insurance policies, and what this means for you; how to deal with new complexity in estate planning -- including the handling of such issues as protection of digital assets; how you'll spend your time -- and money -- in retirement, and why the future will be the happiest time of your life."--Jacket.
