One of Michigan's Top Federal Employee Retirement Specialists, Tim Sullivan, Co-Authors New Book to Cut Taxes and Avoid Retirement Mistakes

UTICA, Mich., May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Retiring today is complex, like making your way through a maze of options and regulations with little or no help.

"When you work for the Federal government, retiring is even more complicated. Without a trained and seasoned guide, you can miss out on valuable benefits, or worse, make costly mistakes, some of which are irrevocable," says Tim Sullivan, NSSA, ChFEBC, FRC, a nationally recognized financial educator, author, radio show host, and federal retirement specialist.

"Retire Abundantly," a new book co-authored with Sullivan, offers wisdom, advice and principles on how to reduce income taxes and estate taxes to enjoy a greater lifestyle and legacy. The book educates and equips successful individuals and families against the little-known mistakes and costly missteps that can derail their lifestyle in retirement.

"As a result of widely held myths about investing and protecting money, many Federal and corporate employees, executives and professionals are unknowingly making some costly money mistakes. It is my mission to cut through all the misleading, conflicting information and confusion that's out there. With greater clarity, people who have worked hard and successfully saved for retirement can make wiser decisions leading to a larger lifestyle and legacy," continues Sullivan.   

Running afoul of IRS retirement account rules can cost a bundle. The Wall Street Journal reported that, "Uncle Sam is about to get a lot tougher on individual retirement account mistakes—and that could trip up investors who aren't careful." The IRS levied over half a billion dollars in fines in just a two-year period for missed retirement plan withdrawals and contributions that break the rules.

The easy to read book is not laden with technical jargon but is filled with real world wisdom on wealth preservation and protection. It begins by exposing how and why the wealth and retirement planning industry has left many adrift, along with the myths that many have been led to believe. It also details the three major retirement mistakes that many are making.  

The book details the twelve biggest wealth obstacles that hinder those who have successfully accumulated wealth from preserving, protecting and passing on that wealth to future generations and causes they care about deeply. The book concludes outlining the solutions, including an enlightening case study that illustrates the concepts detailed in the book. The book also includes a set of real-life stories of wealth failure and success, along with how to take the next step in your lifestyle and wealth planning.

Sullivan said, "Enjoying a larger lifestyle in retirement is not one-size-fits-all. It means something different to each client we work with, so the cookie-cutter approach being offered by so many advisors will not do. Plus, life's uncertainties are just that… uncertain. Without proper planning and protection, uncertainties can derail peoples' lives. That's my mission and why I'm passionate about what I do."
