[Dale Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a good book which covered many aspects of retirement and was thorough. But the writing style varied and there were a lot of checklists and quizzes that did not fit in. For example, on page 151, there was an article "10 questions to bring on Your Senior Housing tour" and one suddenly realizes it is not written for a person who is retiring- it is written for the child of a parent who wants to live in an assisted living facility. It seemed cut and pasted together.

Recommended for those thinking about retirement. There are a lot of considerations that go into the decision to retire. Ms. Cullinane included lots of resources that should help.

The tone is neighborly, less strident than Suze Orman.

Really good content but geared to a U.S. audience so much of the specific information was not applicable to Canadians.
Would love to see a Canadian version!

My sister's first book! What a great job. So insightful and keeps your interest on each topic! Great topics including are you ready, possible places to retire, financial information and social and fitness information. A one-stop shopping book for everything you need to know to retire happy! Congrats Jan!

Lighter but less informative...so far
