Klappentext

A financial advisor recounts an interview with a recently retired physician who planned an enjoyableand costlyretirement. The doctor wanted his entire portfolio in bonds, which was far too conservative to maintain the lifestyle he and his wife had planned. In the advisor's words: ""This fellow was a bit of a know-it-all, and I wasn't getting through. Finally I asked him, 'Doctor, how will it feel for you when you have to go back to work?' That got his attention, and I was able to lay out a strategy that would allow him to retire and stay retired.""
