Review:

This book is really made for those probably in their thirties to start them thinking on retirement planning and saving, well, there's time to start it at the beginning. Once you're in your forties. You definitely need this book as it lets you figure out what you're going to need for retirement and then how to appropriately start planning for it. If you're already near retirement, then the book is helpful to reassess what you need, what you already have, and the other things you might need to do. By using the different steps, it really is a proper assessment for what you will need when you finally decide to retire. 

Many things may not be thought of, especially for downsizing and reducing cost. One doesn't think about retiring and then needing extra pocket money. For example. The author gives you perfect examples of ways to earn money on the side that just gives enough extra without providing a healthy W-2 that makes it taxable and cost you more than what it's worth. She also offers many things to think about for downsizing her sustaining in your home. Also, additional discounts and things that you may not be thinking about that could save you a lot of money. 

Then there's the final chapter on actual retirement and the different stages that that imposes- where you actually want to be doing things like traveling and being on the go, then slowing down and then when you may need In-Home care. Overall, it's a very realistic book that can be gone through in an afternoon and the steps are easy to do in different times to get you where you want to be for retirement. A good little pocketbook to have on hand to start your planning today!
