Reviews
This book should be purchased by any library that has requests for information on retirement. It is very well written and covers the complete range of retirement information for the layperson, including but not limited to social security, annuities, individual savings, the legal aspects of retirement, budgeting, pension benefits, Medicare and other health benefits, retirement housing, and estate planning. Each chapter has a glossary, and some chapters include "important tips" sections. An excellent personal and financial data form is included in the appendix. Resources of retiree organizations, education, legal services, and volunteer work and a "reading list" conclude this fine book. Arthur J. Lieb, Library of Congress
