In his new book, Retire Inspired, financial expert and speaker Chris Hogan aims to change the way people view saving for retirement and equip them with the knowledge and know-how to properly prepare for long-term financial success.

“Every day more people reach retirement age with little savings, no plan and lots of regret, and that’s not okay,” said Mr Hogan. “But retirement isn’t an age; it’s a financial number — the amount of money you need to live during your retirement years. By equipping people with the tools and information to take control of their retirement planning, they’ll be able to determine their financial number and take the proper steps to reach this goal.”

In Retire Inspired, which is released in January, Mr Hogan breaks down many aspects of retirement and gives simple, straightforward advice and explanations. He addresses everything from how debt and budgeting affect your retirement to the more complex issues like investing vehicles and the stock market.

Mr Hogan also includes practical steps for people at each age and speaks to why it’s critical to start preparing, no matter your age or financial situation.

For more than a decade, Hogan has served on the team of New York Times best-selling author and radio show host Dave Ramsey, as a financial coach and speaker.

He travels the US helping people develop strategies to manage their money and reach their retirement goals. Mr Hogan also works with high-profile clients, including business leaders, professional athletes and entertainers, to help them generate revenue, protect their wealth, and secure their financial futures.
