OMG - this book is awful. I like many other DK books - not this one. Save your money.

Very general book. Really designed for the run up to the retirement decision than after it. Was inspirational (a bit!) but I did not really get a lot out of it. I have been semi and totally retired for some 10 years now so maybe it was a bit late to read this!......more

Thoughtful and intelligent approach Made me consider many issues as a near retiree. Sources were well considered and thankfully (not that I have a major issue) not totally U.S. centric.......more
