From Booklist

There is something inherently comforting about a retirement guide in its fifth edition-- reassuring primarily because of the reputation of its editor--Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine. Who else would have the knowledge to definitively state that Social Security, if unfixed, won't truly go bust in 2040? Or provide a checklist for a golden handshake, the deal offered to an executive or senior management for early retirement? Besides having its reportorial fingers on the ever-changing pulse of D.C., laws, and news, this guide, believe it or not, helps remove worry, thanks mostly to its tone and easy-to-read narrative. Sidebars assist the financially challenged with interpreting vocabulary or timing an IRA rollover, as do worksheets, compounding charts, tables, and other factual information designed to put all at ease. No matter if it's the first or the fifth, invest in this. Barbara Jacobs
