LOCAL AUTHOR, FINANCIAL ADVISOR CELEBRATES TIMELY RELEASE OF RETIREMENT BOOK

NASHUA, NH – Financial planner Mike Bonacorsi has plenty to be thankful for and on Wednesday, October 22, 2008, Bonacorsi will bring his celebration to the public. Retirement Readiness, a financial guide to retirement written by Bonacorsi, will be unveiled at a cocktail reception at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Nashua, New Hampshire from 7:00 until 9:00 pm. The event is open to the public.

After working as a Certified Financial Planner in the local banking industry for almost twenty years, Bonacorsi has opened his own financial planning business located in Amherst, New Hampshire. Along with the new business, there is also a new book. Bonacorsi has spent the past year writing Retirement Readiness as part of his three-step approach to retirement: creating your vision, knowing your position, and preparing for your future. Combining humor and advice, Bonacorsi helps readers create a guide to planning for retirement. Each chapter contains simple worksheets and checklists to assist with developing a personal retirement plan.

Retirement Readiness, released earlier this month, is available in most bookstores and online and has received positive reviews, including one from Kirkus Discoveries. There will be copies available for purchase at the October 22 event; at just $14.95, the book is a wise investment given the economic atmosphere.

The Business We're In

I have chosen to use one of the places I work as my subject matter for our class projects that lie ahead. Very part-time I work for a financial planner who recently left the banking industry and has started his own company. Along with that, he has just released his first book and I am very fortunate to see how all of that plays out. Not all of my class projects will be completely truthful; some embellishment is needed because, quite frankly, the financial planning industry just isn't sexy! But I am having fun seeing how what we learn in class ties in with the "real world" and given my interest in possibly pursuing a career in community relations, the assignments are both pertinent and relevant.
