This book was a great starter on getting retirement info organized. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it’s 5 years old. I would definitely read an updated version if there was one. It is kick-starting me to read more about retirement and gave me some great tips on getting my retirement plan in place.

This was a very helpful guide to negotiating Social Security, Medicare, 401 (k)'s, IRA's, and all things retirement. It contains good advice, and options - realizing that retirement is not one-size-fits-all. I wish I had been able to read this 30 years ago!

A straight-forward, no-nonsense and well-organized guide. Everything, all in one quick and handy book. Put aside the other fun books for a day or so early in your life to plan for the future, which you could design for more reading time.
Not everyone works for employers who offer pensions and other lifelong benefits. I am one of those people who worked for small employers without yesterday's pensions that Dad and Grandpa enjoyed in their retirement. So, as retirement approaches in the next ten years or so, this book may pay for itself.

With 2 months until my unrestricted free agency at age 55, retirement planning is on my mind.
This gives an overview of things you need to consider with lots of information and examples of different scenarios.

Easy to read and understand with all the important dates and websites those planning for retirement should know. This book would also be helpful for those who are a couple decades away from retirement in order to be prepared.

This is a must read for anyone over the age of 50. It lays out the path for preparing for retirement.

No new knowledge obtained. Spent longer walking to/from the library to pick up the book than reading it.
