Winning at Retirement by Patrick Foley and Kristin Hillsley
Starts with table of contents where the chapters are broken up into the important phases you have to go through along the way to reach retirement.
Very informative and I only looked at the ones I was interested in: Medicare, Social Security. Scanned through the others and will save them for a later date as I need them.
Some information is very old and you should read other resources that are quote din this book.

Great book chock full of important things to think about BEFORE you retire (eg. Social Security, Medicare, how to stay healthy, how to decide where to live, have a PURPOSE to your life, etc.). It doesn't have all of the answers, nor does it claim to. It does however get you thinking and provides multitudes of references where you can get the answers you seek.

This book is more nuts and bolts than many of the books I have read on the topic and is chock full of links to excellent resources. It covers a broader range of issues than many books from financial planning, to health, to Medicare, to personal goals and happiness. In doing so, the authors freely acknowledge that they are not covering any of these subjects as deeply as a more specialized book would, but they provide a great service by giving you the big picture, with a surprising amount of detail as well as providing the leads necessary to drill deeper on any topic of particular interest. I would highly recommend this to anyone in the early years of retirement or within 5 years of retiring.

Great book

Really good book with in depth discussion of retirement. It gives you all the possible scenario of retirement. Everything is explained in a very simple way.

Second time reading this book. I read it a few years ago but wanted to reread it as I'm getting closer to retirement. I mark many pages to refer to as I start working my way through the whole medicare and social security process.
