Columbia, SC – September 25, 2026 – A local team of financial experts has earned multiple Amazon best‑seller positions for their new book, Retire Rich in the New Economy: The Complete Woman’s Guide to Retiring Well and Building Wealth That Lasts Generations. Co‑authors Ben Green, Taylor Gripentrog and Kendra Murphy saw the title rank #1 in the Inflation category and #2 in both Financial Risk Management and Personal Taxes on September 22, 2026. The book also secured #1 Hot New Release placements in those same categories.
Why the book matters for Columbia families
The guide takes a woman‑centered perspective, recognizing that many women may live longer, step away from the workforce for caregiving, or face shifts in household income. Rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all formula, the authors advocate building a retirement plan around each individual’s income needs, health‑care costs, lifestyle goals and family responsibilities.
Local interview highlights practical steps
During an interview on Influential Entrepreneurs® hosted by Mike Saunders, the trio discussed how to evaluate career trajectory, sources of retirement income, long‑term care considerations and life events that reshape a household’s financial outlook. They introduced a “240 Paycheck Plan,” a framework designed to help people convert retirement resources into a steady income stream.
Ben Green, a Certified Financial Fiduciary and co‑founder of Ready2Retire, said, “Too many women were coming to us with 401(k)s and IRAs, but no real ‘paycheck’ plan for retirement, and no fiduciary team to help with what comes next: when to claim Social Security, which Medicare plan to choose, how to cover health‑care costs, and how to build an estate plan.”
Local impact and next steps
The authors’ emphasis on individualized, evolving plans aligns with the needs of Columbia’s growing senior population and families balancing work, caregiving and financial goals. Readers can learn more by listening to the full interview or purchasing the book on Amazon.
