Eternity Can Wait

Science and statistics tell us that in the course of humankind, we’ve added 10,000 extra days to our average life expectancy (since 1900 to be exact). Compared to 100 years ago, that’s almost a second lifetime.

Most of us manage our efforts and plan our lives as best we can to finally cross the goal line to retirement. And then, we will engage in a whole new life that will likely span thousands and thousands of days, but with no societal history, family tradition or road map to guide us through them …

Fortunately, Dr. Tom Nolan has given this subject a great deal of consideration, and has written a new book called Eternity Can Wait to help us all out. The former Milwaukee investment advisor, author, and high profile media personality continues working even during his own retirement.

Succinct, straightforward and engaging, Eternity Can Wait calls out the issues, the concerns and the questions we need to address in order to evaluate how to approach this future. Check out the Web site and you can download sample chapters, employ an interactive date calculator to see how many days you have coming, or even pose a question directly to the author.

If the name looks familiar, Nolan was formerly the featured spokesperson in a major PR/advertising campaign for investment firm Blunt Ellis & Loewi, Inc. that sought to educate consumers about money management. He was a featured guest on talk shows throughout the United States, and was particularly popular on those with live Q&A formats, first as an investment advisor and subsequently as the author of two “traditional” retirement books, Retire Easy and Aging Smarter.
