Ernst & Young's Retirement Planning Guide

Retirement planning is more important now than ever before because people are living longer and the retirement years represent the third stage of one's life. Whether you are in your 20s, 40s, or 60s, you should learn about retirement. This book is one of many on this topic. If you are not planning for retirement, you are still planning, but maybe you are planning to work the rest of your life. This book discusses spending, investing, social security, insurance, health care costs, taxation, and much more. If it was up to me, I would make this topic a requirement for high school students. - Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market? Learn how to invest your money, how to pick stocks, and how to make money in the stock market

There are a lot of retirement books out there, so I went with the one with a recognizable name and I'm glad I did. My parents haven't thought enough about retirement and I wanted to spur them to action. They were pleased to find out that there were many things they could do now, even at this late date, to help them, and they even starting giving me tips on ways I could start planning. So then I gave this book to my husband's parents who are already retired, and they ended up buying it for friends too. There are tons of tips, easy things you can do, worksheets, charts, action lists, tips--even a section on how to overcome adverse events like losing your job and divorce. It is worth the read. You'll learn a lot and be happy you did.
