In this book, author Erin Botford offers an entirely new way to think about money, investing and retirement planning, called "lifestyle Driven Investing." She first exposes some of the common myths of Wall Street and explains why the traditional methods of investing may not work in the days ahead, and then she shows you how to craft an investment strategy to help protect your retirement lifestyle in good economic times and bad. --Description from book jacket
