Wealth advisor and author Chris Owens announces the release of Retire Regal on April 21®: The Holy Grail of Retirement – an integrated five-part planning framework for Americans approaching or already approaching retirement – as Owens Financial Group pledges to donate $70 per copy sold on launch day to the National Humane Society through Care to Roar.™
Kansas City, MO/ Access Newswire / April 8, 2026 / As financial market volatility reshapes the outlook for retirement across the country, Chris Owens, Founder and Chairman of Owens Financial Group, announced the release of April 21, 2026 Retire Regal®:the holy grail of retirement. Written for Americans approaching retirement and those who are already retired, this book provides a unified framework for navigating five categories of retirement risk that many financial plans address separately, rather than in a coordinated system.
The book will launch via Amazon on April 21, 2026. On launch day only, the eBook version will be available on Amazon for $0.99, open to any reader. Owens Financial Group will donate $70 to the National Humane Society for every copy – print or ebook – sold on April 21 through its Care to Roar initiative.™ Charitable Initiative.
Why this book. Why now?
For pre-retirees and retirees managing significant assets, current market conditions have brought long-standing planning considerations into sharp focus. Many retirement plans are optimized for the accumulation phase – building wealth over time – but provide less integrated guidance for distributions, when income takes off and many variables interact simultaneously.
Order of return risk. Tax risk from required minimum distributions. Social Security timing decisions that cannot be undone. Legislative changes that change the rules mid-plan. Health care costs are often higher than anticipated. These ideas do not occur in isolation – they interact. A decision taken in one area can significantly impact another area.
Owens addresses these five areas through a conceptual framework he calls the Five Fomen: Eye Hydra™ (income gap and longevity risk), tax kraken™ (tax risk in retirement), Legislative Leviathan™ (regulatory and policy changes), market dragon™ (market volatility and sequence of returns risk), and health basilisk™ (Health care costs and long-term care). “Many retirement books address one or two of these areas,” says Owens. “Retire Regal® Addresses all five – and how they might interact with each other.”
Retire Regal® Framework: Five Pillars, an Integrated Plan
Retire Regal® Organizes retirement planning around five interconnected topics, each represented by a letter in the REGAL acronym:
R – Retirement Income: Developing a sustainable income strategy aimed at supporting income needs during retirement
E-Employer Scheme Rollover: Navigating 401(k) transitions, pension decisions, and rollover timing in a coordinated manner
G – Government forces: Understanding Social Security timing, Medicare enrollment and applicable tax laws
A – Asset Management: Managing and protecting accumulated funds through the distribution phase
L – Legacy Plan: Ensuring money transfer is in accordance with the individual’s intentions
watch out for the roar™: Retirement education meets animal welfare
eBook version of Regal to retire on April 21, 2026® Will be available on Amazon for $0.99, open to any reader. For every copy sold that day – print or ebook – Owens Financial Group will donate $70 to the National Humane Society through Care to Roar.™ Initiative. Total donations from the firm are limited to $10,000.
This pairing is intentional. A $0.99 Kindle purchase on launch day generates a $70 donation from Owens Financial Group — a 70-to-1 ratio that Owens says is the perfect way to mark the occasion.
“We wanted this book launch to mean something beyond the book. For every person who invests in their retirement education on April 21, Owens Financial Group will invest in protecting animals who have no one else to advocate for. It’s the perfect way to mark this moment.”
