Smart Is The New Rich is the indispensable retirement guide to winning financially in the "New Normal." All-time low interest rates mixed with all-time high stock markets have put retired investors and those near retirement into the cross hairs of history. Experts agree: The markets can rise, but something has to give at some point. Where will you be when the music stops? In retirement, there are no "do overs." Smart Is The New Rich reveals your risks, considers the alternatives, and helps zero in on practical solutions. The first step is re-defining "rich." Does it mean owning big piles of money? Or having multiple streams of reliable income? As author Steve Jurich says.

Contractual incomes allows you to pursue ambitions, rather than just covering obligations. While many people may bristle at the thought of annuities, research at major institutions such as the Wharton School of Business, point to annuities as a dynamic solutions for the modern day retiree.
