When I downloaded and read this book, I was planning to retire early and be part of the F.I.R.E. community. Very down to earth and practical advice! Thank you!

This was a fun read.. no really . As a millennial, I am interested in planning for my retirement and figuring out the best ways to do that while still creating a life. The author does a great job of providing insight while still coming across as relatable. I recommended this book to a lot of people interested in growing their nest eggs!

Thanks for the advice Jonquil!

Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this book for an honest review.

I have to admit that I requested this book based on the title and did not read what the book was about. This books financial info is for the UK and I live in the US. This book did have some information that was interesting for me and would really help those who live in the correct country

This book will be so helpful for those who are retired, are thinking of retiring or know someone who has retired and may need some advice.  This title will be most relevant to U.K. readers but offers wise guidance for all who are planning ahead.  The list of topics covered is truly exhaustive with information on finances, health, leisure activities and more.  By demystifying this life stage the editor helps readers to prepare for a secure future.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

The Good Retirement Guide 2020 is a comprehensive resource. Unfortunately, I should have read the description more carefully as the information is for those residing in the United Kingdom. The resources are plentiful, and the information presented is done well.

The book does have useful resources and information that can be applied to the U.S., such as maximizing your 401K while you are still employed.

Overall, a great resource to have on your bookshelf and one that can be referred to often to plan for retirement.

Very nice book, one with ideas I plan to put to use in the next year or two. Similar to earlier editions; but contains a few new ideas. It also touches on the new retirement and SS law changes, of which there are a few key ones coming in 2020.

I'll be looking back at this often as I make my plans to retire in the near future.
