This book is a must-read for anyone who dreams of retirement but worries that their plan has been derailed by a weak economy. "The dream is still possible," say Billy and Akaisha Kaderli, and they should know. Retired in 1991 at the age of 38, the Kaderlis have been living an adventurous, global life and have taught us that enrichment doesn't have to cost a fortune. Using their own inspirational retirement as an example, they step readers through practical advice about building and managing a financial portfolio, health care concerns, housing, traveling and lifestyle choices. After reading this book, you'll come away not only with a solid financial plan, but the courage and know-how to take the leap into the life you want.

Judy Martel, author of "The Dilemmas of Family Wealth," and Bankrate.com's Wealth blog.

The perspectives we have gained cannot be purchased and one cannot fully understand them from reading a book or watching a movie. The food, climate, language, and interactions with others in daily events are not “just like home.” The awareness that this challenge brings - the knowledge of self coupled with authentic contact with other humans who have different points of reference - is an expansion. And it is one we value. Billy and Akaisha Kaderli

It was a leap of faith.
