12 Months to Retire Right: The Step-by-Step Guide to Build Wealth and Retire on Your Terms

Find clarity, build confidence and plan the retirement that's right for you

For most Australians, retirement raises two big questions: what will I do with my time, and will my money last? In 12 Months to Retire Right, Glen James and Vince Scully guide you through the 12 key areas you need to consider (from mindset and purpose to investing and superannuation) so that when retirement comes, you are ready.

Drawing on their expertise in financial advice and experience hosting the Retire Right show, plus real data and stories from everyday Aussies, Glen and Vince tackle the retirement worries that keep you up at night. You'll navigate one decision at a time, creating a retirement plan without the overwhelm. You can start with month 1 anytime and move at your own pace, with checklists and targets for making real progress on your retirement goals.

What you'll take away:

• Your own personal retirement plan, built around what you actually value
• Confidence in your retirement number and when you can stop working
• Practical strategies for super, property, shares and the age pension, tailored to the Australian system
• Why you don't need to aim for $1 million — and how to spot other financial noise that doesn't apply to you
• The permission you need to enjoy spending after a lifetime of saving

Whether you're 10+ years or just 12 months from retirement, 12 Months to Retire Right will help you build your retirement on your own terms. Start now. Retire right.
