For many Americans, planning for a secure, confident retirement seems like a daunting task, perhaps even an impossible achievement. John Kuykendall is the founder of GulfCoast Financial Services and GulfCoast Tax Advantage. Through more than 30 years as a financial and planning professional, he realized that there needs to be a refocus on the issues and concerns facing today's retiree. John is a Certified Kingdom Advisor, serving clients with biblical principles and world views, an active member of the National Association of Christian Financial Consultants, and is also a member of many local charity boards in North Central Florida. John understands that there is a foundation of stability upon which all other financial progress is built. This foundation however, is missing and ignored in most conventional approaches to retirement planning. John looks to refocus planning conversation for readers of this book - savers and investors who are serious about planning for their ideal financial future. From saving methodologies, investment options, tax consequences and strategic planning concepts, to identifying the specific risks financial we will face, and establishing the protections for our standard of living and providing that stability to our family and loved ones, all aspects of a comprehensive plan must be carefully considered and addressed. In this book John Kuykendall covers many of the most overlooked aspects that often derail a confident retirement and lead to even avid savers living a "less than" lifestyle through what should be their most fulfilling years.
