reThink. rePlan. RETIRE!
reThink. rePlan. RETIRE! is the earliest book in the Durso collection and the place to start if your retirement plan has never really been pressure-tested. Written by the inventor of the Simplicitree Financial Analysis, it walks readers through three deliberate steps — rethink, replan, retire — built around a patent-pending approach to decision-making in the years that matter most. The book's central image, a balance scale holding a house on one side and a percentage symbol on the other, captures the work in shorthand: lifestyle and assets weighed honestly against each other rather than treated as separate conversations. It is short on jargon and steady on structure, and it gives readers a clear way to question what they have before they refine it.
"Step back, rethink the assumptions in your current retirement plan, and rebuild it with structure instead of guesswork."
Buy on Amazon"I wrote this book because too many people walk into retirement holding a plan that has never really been stress-tested. The Simplicitree Financial Analysis started as a way to give my own clients a framework they could trust, and the first edition of this book is where I put that framework down on paper. If the plan you have doesn't feel solid yet, this is where I would want you to start."
