What’s the Deal with Retirement Planning for Women? Retirement questions answered in newly released Second Edition by Plymouth, MA-based Author and Retirement Guru Marcia Mantell

The numbers are startling. Nearly 50 percent of women ages 55 to 66 have no personal retirement savings, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
 
In the recently released What’s the Deal with Retirement Planning for Women – Second Edition (Rethink Press), Marcia Mantell, nationally-known speaker, author, retirement planning guru and Baby Boomer, shares her pearls of wisdom along with a baker’s dozen questions that women need to consider prior to leaving that paycheck behind.  
 
Mantell has spent 30 years talking to women about retirement and how and why they should plan for the future.  
 
“While most women are looking forward to retirement, I have found that they don’t always have a plan for what happens when that paycheck stops. Those who truly felt ready to retire have one thing in common – they have been planning and saving for their retirement for many years,” explained Mantell. 
 
What’s the Deal with Retirement Planning for Women Second Edition is an easy-to-digest and entertaining retirement planning book that offers up all the “ingredients” women will need to confidently plan for their retirement. In her book, Mantell provides tips and resources including: 
 
– Defining your retirement years and what you want them to look like 
– Using your skills to manage your retirement 
– Addressing new ideas for living well in your eighties and nineties 
– Navigating Social Security and Medicare 
 
Mantell is the author of two other retirement planning books, the recently released Cookin’ Up Your Retirement Plan discussion guide and What’s the Deal with Social Security for Women (Rethink Press). In all of her books, Mantell shares her expertise of retirement, Social Security and Medicare matters in an easy-to-digest, culinary-related, creative way.  
 
Mantell explained, “So many women nearing retirement who I’ve talked with are truly unprepared for life in retirement. My goal in the new edition of What’s the Deal with Retirement Planning for Women is for women to confidently be able to answer the question of ‘Will I really have enough money to last through my retirement’ well before they actually leave their job behind.” 
 
What’s the Deal with Retirement Planning for Women Second Edition (Rethink Press) retails for $16.99 and is available for purchase at Amazon.com books and Barnesandnoble.com.

Simple steps towards spirituality. New book streamlines the works of Rudolf Steiner.

Are you drawn to your better angels?  Overwhelmed by the language of the literature associated with spiritualism?

There is a new alternative. The newly released book, “THE GOSPEL OF ST. JOHN – Revisiting the Vision of Rudolf Steiner for the 21st Century: Our Participation in Earth’s Evolution as the Planet of Love” is direct, concise and transformative.  Cape Cod author Eliza Joslin Kendall walks you through the journey in her “Simply Steiner” series.

Steiner stated: The Gospel of St. John is not a book of instruction, but a force that can become active within our souls.  Heralded and much respected, Rudolf Steiner was a brilliant late- 19th-century Austrian visionary whose astonishing spiritual perceptivity brought about the Waldorf Schools, architectural developments, biodynamic agriculture, and much more. But because the books and lectures based on his profoundly forward thinking were written down by others in German, and then translated into English, even dedicated Steinerians have often found his books difficult to understand.

Raised with Steiner’s ideas from a young age, Kendall is drawn to revealing his insights. “When I read Steiner,” she writes, “I just knew that I knew all that he was talking about, as if I had read it before. His writings resonated so deeply within me that I immediately felt called to take Steiner and his philosophy to the public in a way that can be taken in by the soul, not just the mind. I continue to feel that this is greatly needed. Especially in today’s world.”

Whatever your religious beliefs or background, Steiner’s Gospel of St. John via Eliza Joslin Kendall can help shift your perspective of yourself, the human community, and the planet.

Eliza Joslin Kendall is a Certified Transformational Life Coach and Medium.  She is also accredited in Energy Healing,  as well as Mediation and Conflict Resolution. Eliza helps clients to overcome self-destructive routines and make positive life choices. 

An entrepreneur, wife, mother and grandmother, Kendall leverages her expansive human experience to help translate spiritualism into ways readers can take in and make practical use of.
