Michael Kresh is a dynamic speaker and his passion for retirement planning and
investing becomes clear to anyone who
has ever seen him live or on television. Whether talking to a roomful of CEOs
about their company pension plans or a group of Baby Boomers about making their retirement affordable and meaningful, audiences truly enjoy his informative programs.


Planning for retirement is not brain surgery, but it does involve a lot of moving parts. Budgets, mortgages, insurance, pensions, taxes, debt-management and investment strategies all play a role and each require us to make a choice. For many people, these many moving parts become overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
You can gain control over your retirement income. You can figure out all of the parts, and mold them into a single, cohesive retirement plan that makes sense. That’s my goal for you, and the reason I created this website and wrote my first book, You Can Afford to Retire.
By taking control of your retirement income in an active way, you will be able to think clearly about retirement, and chart a path towards the kind of retirement that you want. This website was designed to serve as a reality check, a place where you can figure out what you are realistically facing when you plan your retirement, a source of solutions if you have already retired, and a resource center if you, like most of us, want to make sure that you are on the right track.
As always, I want to hear from you. If you have questions, comments, have learned something that you think others can benefit from, please click here to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.
