Description
Learn how to save and prepare for retirement no matter your age or your income.
12 Ways to Retire on Lessoffers a roadmap for anyone seeking financial security and peace of mind for their retirement years ahead, regardless of savings or income in the present moment.
In a time when fewer retirees have the kind of pension many of their parents had, those looking to retire can be especially vulnerable. But here, the author outlines those steps people can take to ensure their security and enjoy those activities they look forward to in the future. Offering case studies and actionable steps in the form of bullet points, questions and lists, the book focuses on the importance of planning and analyzing one’s total financial picture in the context of goals, hopes, and dreams.

I love it when a book introduces me to something new. I loved that the author wrote about social security, how to calculate it, and when to take it.
I always tell people that people make plans on how they feel today, not how they will be feeling in the future. The author covers this by talking about travel, downsizing, snow birds, adult active communities, etc.
The best part that I had not seen anywhere else is the notion of what do you do for transportation when you might have to give it up.
OVerall a great financial resource book for anyone close to retirement.
It was great to hear a financial advisor talk about age directly and how employment is affected.
Paul V, Reviewer
There are many books on this topic, and this won't meet everyone's needs. It is a good intro and provides solid basic info on the topic, including lots of potentially helpful questions retirees need to ask themselves. A good addition to your retirement library.
Thanks very much for the ARC for review!!

This is packed with solid information on retirement planning. If you are thinking about retiring and unsure how you want to proceed, this is worth at least reading the chapters that pertain to your situation. If you're already retired and settled with your residence and finances, you may not find much that is applicable to your situation.
