Most retirement books are written for the saver. This one is written for the household that has already saved. The Retirement Practical Navigator is a 29-chapter reference manual for the supersaver — the disciplined household that arrives at retirement with substantial assets and a complex set of decisions to make. It addresses the questions that matter at this stage: how to extract income tax-efficiently, how to manage Roth conversions across the bracket structure, how to defend against the surviving spouse's tax cliff, how to handle long-term care risk, how to prepare for the late-life challenges no one wants to think about but everyone will eventually face. Organized in five parts — Charting the Waters, Reading the Currents, Provisioning the Voyage, Navigating the Tax Tides, and Weathering the Long Voyage — the book covers Social Security timing strategy, pension lump-sum decisions, annuities, sequence-of-returns risk, the three-bucket strategy, asset location, the ACA bridge before Medicare, IRMAA brackets, RMD planning, Roth conversion campaigns, taxable-account harvesting, estate planning essentials, the survivor packet, and cognitive-decline preparation. Written by an actual navigator - a United States Coast Guard licensed Master Mariner, who plans on retiring in 2027 — for readers who want clear answers, honest math, and the framework they can return to, year after year as their retirement financial conditions change. True north remains fixed. The skilled navigator finds it, sails to it, and corrects continuously when the compass drifts.
