A complex subject told in simplified terms. A good refresher for those working toward preparing for retirement some distance in the future. Although, shortly after the first 1/3 of the book, I personally tired of the "Jack & Jill" characters.

A quick overview/advice of financial planning for retirement. The author made this somewhat dry subject matter rather animated by putting it all uniquely in a story form....& this really worked well to make this a lot more 'palatable', helping it to read easily along. I thought it explained many terms, conditions, scenarios surrounding this subject......& many may find this helpful, or reassuring.
I won this e-book in a Goodreads First Reads Giveaway listed by the author, to read & review...& these are my own honest opinions.

I won this ebook in a Goodreads Giveaway. As someone who is just beginning her career, I know very little about planning for retirement. I found this book very insightful and easy to read! I loved the dialogue writing style throughout and all the financial terms were explained in a way that was easy to understand.

As someone who is getting close to retirement, this book was very informative and a great starting point for what you need to know to get yourself going in the right direction.

[Randi · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book felt like Retirement 101 with many things I either already knew or that were extremely simplistic to me. I did not garner any real assistance for taking the next steps in my retirement planning.
If a reader is very early in their planning this might be a good first step.
