Daryl Diamond : Author of Buying Time Interview

I had a nice visit with Daryl Diamond today at his office in Winnipeg.

The purpose of my call today was to just chat a little about what we are going to cover in our hour long interview on Monday, March 31, 2008 at 7PM. EST.

This is the interview that we did! Have a listen.

At first I thought I knew a little about Retirement Planning. After talking to Daryl for a few minutes I realized how huge the topic is and how timely his book - Buying Time - is.

Daryl's comment was this: People spend a life time accumulating assets for the sole purpose of giving themselves a stream of income to pay for their retirement years.

When Daryl sees a client, they've normally got assets in different shapes and sizes and all having different values. His job is then to help his clients consolidate all of these assets into the most efficient form to give them the best retirement income possible.

We talked a little about the following points:

1. Process of transition from working to retired
   
2. Consolidating assets to best take income
   
3. Where are you going to use the income in retirement?
   
4. How can we build efficiencies into your retirement programs.

While I am still a few years away from retirement, it got me thinking about the best way to handle things.

I can imagine that it's inefficient for people to have assets in different locations with different sets of rules etc. It would be a management nightmare and very cumbersome time wise.

Daryl Diamond's book about Buying Time helps the reader build these efficiencies, and make their retirement transition a smoother and more profitable one.
