Retirement Income for Life (Second Edition)
Summary
Canada’s number one best-selling retirement income book is now completely revised and updated. Vettese will show you how to mitigate risk and secure your financial future in these unpredictable times. As COVID-19 rocks the economy in an unprecedented black swan event, retirees and those who are preparing to retire need answers to pressing questions about their financial futures. Originally published in 2018, the second edition of Retirement Income for Life has been completely revised and updated, and now includes: New chapters on early retirement, retiring single, what to do when one spouse dies young, and more. Three strategies for mitigating your personal financial risk in the current downturn in equities and other investment products. Advice on how to plan for (and even benefit from) the coming bear market resulting from COVID-19, which will create unprecedented equity buying opportunities, possibly as early as 2021. Information on the impact of unbearably low interest rates on annuities and fixed-income investments and what to do if you hold them. The reasons retirees should be deferring CPP until age 70 and why the case for this is stronger than ever. Author Frederick Vettese demystifies a complex and often frightening subject and provides practical, actionable advice based on five enhancements the listener can make to mitigate risk and secure their financial future. With more than 1,000 Canadians turning 65 every day, the cultivation of good decumulation practices - the way in which you draw down assets in retirement, ideally to have a secure income for the rest of your life - has become an urgent matter that no one can afford to ignore.

The Groom's Wayward Half-Brother (Mail Order Brides of Missouri)
Summary
Life in Rough Creek, Missouri, isn’t easy - especially if you’re the older brother of the most daring, troublemaking young man in town. Spencer Ludlow has spent his entire life trying to rein in his half-brother Markus, with only middling success. He’s willing enough to keep trying, but with the harvest season coming on, he’d like a little help. Besides, he’s got something more important to focus on - Tina Webber, a young lady from Boston, who has answered his advert for a Mail Order Bride. Tina became an orphan at a very young age, and the idea of marrying into a loving family is a dream come true. On the other hand, her rambunctious soon-to-be brother-in-law is a bit of a shock - and a bit of a challenge. If only he wasn’t so attentive to her, and if only her intended suitor would spend a little more time with her himself. Maybe then she wouldn’t be so confused.... When gambling debts, kidnapping, and the threat of disinheriting get thrown into the mix, Spencer and Tina have to decide exactly how committed they are to their relationship - and whether life together in Rough Creek is even a possibility.
