The 7 Most Important Equations for Your Retirement: The Fascinating People and Ideas Behind Planning Your Retirement Income

SHORT POEM

Seven equations are found in this book,

Open its pages and come take a look.

Fibonacci, Halley and many more,

Will help you live retirement with money galore.

Getting interest from the bank is a smart thing to do,

Leonardo Fibonacci will teach this to you.

Just by not spending your money can grow,

But you better pray interest rates don't go too low.

The time you will live would be nice to know,

How to predict this Benjamin Gompertz could show.

With knowledge like this you can feel free to spend,

Without any financial regrets until the very end.

Not only did Halley predict when his famous comet would come,

He also valued pensions which you get a lifetime of money from.

A true pension will bring you guaranteed money no sorrow,

But don't spend too much or from the kids you must borrow.

Irving Fisher told everyone it was unhealthy to smoke,

Sadly, he gambled all his money and then died broke.

He didn't drink coffee, tea or eat unhealthy food,

All of that probably put him in a very bad mood.

About three of these geniuses I didn't tell,

So to know the rest you must listen well.

I promise that if all the seven stories you closely follow,

After reading this book your head won't be hollow.
