Complete Retirement Guidebook: How to Plan It, Live It and Enjoy It32 reviews Glenn Ruffenach, Kelly Greene Three Rivers Press, 2007 A top pick for any public library collection. There are plenty of books on retirement on the market, but what makes The Wall Street Journal Complete Retirement Book stand out from the competition is its focus on how to plan financially and how to translate dreams into after-retirement reality. It comes from a Wall Street Journal editor whose bi-monthly guide to retirement planning pairs well with a Journal staff reporter expert on the same ...             The New Retirement: Revised and Updated: The Ultimate Guide to the Rest of Your Life6 reviews Jan Cullinane, Cathy Fitzgerald Rodale Books, 2007 All you ever wanted to know about retirement! I have been looking at a lot of books recently in preparation for retirement, but none has been so comprehensive and well-written or answered so many of my questions (even questions I never thought about) as this one. I especially liked the "report cards" on retirement locations and the way the financial parts are written in such an understandable way. The book really helped me think about all ...             Your Retirement, Your Way: Why It Takes More Than Money to Live Your Dream10 reviews Alan Bernstein, John Trauth McGraw-Hill, 2006 Successful Retirement Depends on More Than Money It seems to me--and I admit the possibility that I may be wrong--that when I retired back around the turn of the century (1999, to be exact), retirement planning books were mostly about money. Yes, financial planning is very important, but it always seemed to me that by the time you reach retirement, you've done it or you haven't. I'd planned in my own conservative way, so I never read those ...             Retirement Places Rated: What You Need to Know to Plan the Retirement You Deserve (Places Rated series)24 reviews David Savageau Frommers, 2007 Best in its Class You know exactly what's promised when you read the title of this book, and it delivers exactly that, and better than any other book on this topic that I have seen.

But with relocation being part of so many Americans' retirement strategy, for financial ...             What You Don't Know About Retirement: A Funny Retirement Quiz2 reviews Bill Dodds Meadowbrook, 2000 A Great Gift for Those about to Retire! Many humorous books are funny because they make up things that cause us to laugh at others. The best humor is that which causes us to laugh at ourselves. This book falls into the latter category. For a humor book, it has an unusual format: a series of about one hundred questions and answers concerning aspects of retirement. Each q and a is a page, and there are some humorous illustrations ...             You Can Do It!: The Boomer's Guide to a Great Retirement15 reviews Jonathan D. Pond Collins, 2006 Excellent "How To" Retirement Planning Guide This book was even better than I thought it was going to be. It had great ideas on planning for retirement and living in retirement. It showed how you can hedge against inflation even if your pension or annuity don't have COLA increases. It also had additional information avialable through the authors website, that is referenced throughout the book. Overall a great book for retirement planning.             The New Retirement: The Ultimate Guide to the Rest of Your Life43 reviews Jan Cullinane, Cathy Fitzgerald Rodale Books, 2004 5 Stars + I've read through many retirement books and this one really has the right approach.

Nelson Ten Speed Press, 2007 Great read with great guidance and great referrals This book is simply the best broad treatment of issues for the prospective retiree or already retired person that I am aware of. It covers all the bases and is presented in an easy-to-read style. It is meant to appeal to readers from a broad background and thus has content which is trivial in places (to me). But don't make reviewer George Fulmore's mistake of confusing the occasional trivial, ...             Retirement Income Redesigned: Master Plans for Distribution: An Adviser's Guide for Funding Boomers' Best ...7 reviews Bloomberg Press, 2006 Money Well Spent I have read over two dozen books on investing and retirement planning and this is among my favorites. First, there are few books which talk to the subject of distribution (as opposed to accumulation) strategies. Second, the authors have chosen to allow other experts to contribute to their book - 25 of them to be precise. So you are not just getting the advice of one or two people, but the ...             The New Golden Door to Retirement and Living in Costa Rica42 reviews Christopher Howard Costa Rica Books, 2007 Best Ever I have lived in Costa Rica for over 12 years and have worked extensively in the areas of tourism and real estate. I recommend this book to PEOPLE OF ALL AGES with an interest learning about every possible area of LIVING and INVESTING here. I have read all of the other books about making the move and Mr. Howard seems to have a BETTER FEEL for the country than any of the other authors. Perhaps ...             Retirement RX: The Retirement Docs' Proven Prescription for Living a Happy, Fulfilling Rest ofYour Life10 reviews M.D., Frederick T. Fraunfelder, Jr., M.D., James H. Gilbaugh Avery, 2008 Great Research, Pragmatic Advice Loved the book. Not only is it a great read, I think it's important. Lot's of well-researched insight regarding what could amount to the final 20 or 30 years of your life. Also, the solutions are extremely pragmatic. For the reader nearing retirement, I think the "8 traits" described in the book will provide a "no nonsense" road map to successful retirement and eliminate guesswork. For readers ...             How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free: Retirement Wisdom That You Won't Get from Your Financial Advisor32 reviews Ernie J. Zelinski Ten Speed Press, 2004 Maybe a Blinding Glimpse into the Obvious, But.... Zelinski offers a number of BGO's but I've known too many folks who have moved on into retirement without giving much heed to the straightfoward advice he offers. We all may know how much money we have (or don't have)when we retire, but we may not "what" we're retiring to or think about "who" we will be when we do so. I think he may have over-simplified some of the pre-retirement mental ...             Falling...in Love with San Miguel: Retiring to Mexico on Social Security37 reviews Carol Schmidt, Norma Hair Salsa Verde Press, 2006 reading this- is like sitting on Carols and Norma's shoulder ..... ........ during their first 12 months of "Life in San Miguel". I have not been there yet (in person), but I am sure, it is as helpful for people, who want to visit (like me), for those, thinking to live there more permanently, or even for those who move there for "rest of their lives". I loved the very personal letter-writing style of the authors, and nothing ever felt gossipy. After finishing ...             101 Secrets for a Great Retirement : Practical, Inspirational, & Fun Ideas for the Best Years of Your Life!5 reviews Mary Helen, Shuford Smith McGraw-Hill, 2000 Practical inspiration I'm impressed by how much information is packed into the conversational style of this book.
