As a retiree, I found "Retirement Planning" especially valuable. The author reminds you of the necessity of making periodic adjustments to your individual plan so that you can update your financial and lifestyle goals as needed. The book also provides valuable resources for additional research, explanation of various health and long-term care insurance programs, guidelines for necessary estate planning...and valuable worksheets that enable you to continue to reassess your ongoing needs. Easy to read, and easy to use, it is a basic informational tool for anyone planning for life in retirement.

Good Book. Learned a lot of nuts-and-Bolts about Retirement.

Needs to be included in educating yourself on what's coming after Retirement.

from my perspective as a long-time financial services professional, the author appears to have a bias in certain areas. but, overall the book does a good job of walking a novice through some important financial planning issues, and provides some very useful information.
