Purpose Driven Federal Retirement

 

Purpose Driven Federal Retirement Is Here

After years of working with federal employees and helping them navigate the complexities of retirement, I’m excited to announce the release of my newest book, Purpose Driven Federal Retirement: How to Turn Your Federal Employee Benefits Into the Life You’ve Been Planning For.

Federal employees have access to one of the most comprehensive retirement benefit packages available—but comprehensive doesn’t always mean simple.

FERS. TSP. Social Security. FEHB. FEGLI. Survivor benefits. Taxes. Required Minimum Distributions. Medicare and IRMAA.

Each decision can affect another, and retirement planning becomes much more than simply choosing a date and submitting paperwork.

That’s why I wrote Purpose Driven Federal Retirement.

The book is designed to help federal employees better understand how the different pieces of their retirement fit together—and, more importantly, how to turn those benefits into a retirement built around the life they actually want to live.

Inside, we explore topics including:

  • Understanding your FERS pension and retirement options

  • Making smarter decisions with your TSP

  • Coordinating Social Security with your federal benefits

  • Planning for FEHB and healthcare in retirement

  • Understanding taxes, RMDs, Medicare, and IRMAA

  • Evaluating survivor and legacy decisions

  • Turning retirement income into a plan for the years ahead

But this book isn't just about benefits and numbers.

Retirement should ultimately answer a much bigger question:

What do you want the next chapter of your life to look like?

My hope is that Purpose Driven Federal Retirement gives federal employees the knowledge and confidence to begin answering that question—and a roadmap for turning decades of service into a retirement with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
