Review: A VERY thorough book that is easy to read - a MUST for anyone starting to think about retirement! - This is a GREAT book that everyone nearing retirement should read (10 years before would be even better but it is helpful for everyone). It is VERY well written to be concise and thorough while still being easy to understand and relatable! The author covers almost every topic that will affect you in this change of life with links to follow for more detail/ongoing use so I feel MUCH more prepared having read it and plan to keep the book to refer back to it regularly. I am nearing retirement and have read quite a few books and this one has been the most valuable so far in how thoroughly it covers such a large number of important topics. Thank you, Emily Guy Birken, for putting this book together to help people!!
Review: Good reference but dated - This has a lot of good information and the worksheets are very helpful to build a plan. The only downside is that it was written based on 2021 info, and of course tax/financial guidance changes every year so be sure to do your research to update with current info.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good reference but dated
*by B***O on April 24, 2024*

This has a lot of good information and the worksheets are very helpful to build a plan. The only downside is that it was written based on 2021 info, and of course tax/financial guidance changes every year so be sure to do your research to update with current info.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great general overview on how to prepare for retirement
*by M***. on July 22, 2017*

A great general overview on how to prepare for retirement. She talks about Medicare and stuff like that, that I need to learn more about. My only complaint about the book was it chose to not talk about the cost for these various insurance options. they do likely vary base on where ever you live, but it would still be good to have some cost to help you plan for it your retirement budget. in essence a great overview to prepare for retirement. this book and the Jane Bryant Quinn book on how to make your money last are a great twosome to read as you approach retirement.
