Never Too Old to Rock & Roll: Life After 50-The Best Years Yet [Hardcover]

Thomas L. Hardin (Author), Gail Fink (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2004

An unprecedented event is sweeping America: 10,000 baby boomers turn 50 every day! Many expect this aging generation to become an albatross around America’s neck—overwhelming the health care system, bankrupting Social Security, and retreating to retirement villages where they’ll refuse to support social services with their taxes. In Never Too Old to Rock and Roll, Tom Hardin offers a different perspective: Life after 50 can be the best years yet!

Since the 1960s, baby boomers have created radical change. Whether it’s voting rights or civil rights, relating to kids or in the workplace, baby boomers approach life differently. According to Hardin, how this generation approaches aging will also be different.

"Baby boomers are expected to live longer than any generation before them and they’re realizing they have vast options when it comes to their quality of life," said Hardin. "By practicing a revolutionary concept called personal wealth management, they can achieve total wealth and abundance in every area of life—physical, emotional, and especially financial."

If you’re looking for powerful, practical ways to make life after 50 your best years yet, get ready to rock and roll! This book will permanently change the way America looks at aging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life-affirming and goal-oriented, July 9, 2005

By 

JKJ (Midwestern USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Never Too Old to Rock & Roll: Life After 50-The Best Years Yet (Hardcover)

Author Tom Hardin is a financial planner, but this book offers much more than ways on how to increase your wealth. This is a positive, upbeat, life-affirming book that encourages readers to plan not only for their financial futures, but also for lives that are emotionally and spiritually fulfilling, and as physically healthy as possible.

He offers examples of people who have planned carefully and thought about what they wanted to do with their lives, and who are now living the best lives possible. This is NOT a book of vague generalizations. Hardin offers specific suggestions and guidelines, and encourages the reader to think deeply about what s/he wants out of life. Then, he says, act on those goals!

You can't pick this book up without catching some of Hardin's optimism and energy. And I intend to pick this book up and peruse it many more times!

This review is from: Never Too Old to Rock & Roll: Life After 50-The Best Years Yet (Hardcover)

My wife handed me the book and asked that I also read it. I am 41, not 50 ,and think it is a must read for anyone planning their future. Don't wait until 50 to read it. The author addresses more than just financial planning issues. He asks you to think about the "big picture"; what you want your future to look like financially, physically, and mentally - how to be healthy in order to enjoy your future and to make sure you are doing something you enjoy when you get there.
