5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a re-issue under a new name!, February 25, 2008

This review is from: Your Money after the Big 5-0: Wealth for the Second Half of Life (Paperback)

Good book, yes. Really good, even great for thought and practice in the years approaching and during "retirement". Blue and Burkett do not see retirement as a time of leisure and recreation, but a time of service and mentoring. They give a definitive philosophy for creative, fulfilled living: "Living until you die", my sister and I call it.

But it is also a good book when purchased through Amazon under the name: The Burkett & Blue Definitive Guide to Securing Wealth to Last: Money Essentials for the Second Half of Life (Hardcover) 2005. In fact, it's the same book. And, it's being bundled together with itself, so to speak, for a "discounted" price!

I bought the 2005 version and, not knowing it was the same book in paperback with a different name, the 2007 version. Good thing I wanted to pass it along to my sister, too.

What a great book to begin understanding the life of pre-retirement and after retirement. This book does a wonderful job of being objective to the many options available. There is no clear cut answer to growing old and decisions should be made once the options are understood. This was fun and enjoyable to read!

Has excellent information. Some may be offended by the religious things inside, but it doesn't bother me. I liked the way it made me think about a new way to think about retirement.
