Considering that all information included irrelevant to "financial markets in the U.S." book, unfortunately is useless to someone like me, because I live in different countries. Shame I will have to skip the book, but congrats with BOTD anyway!

Since I'm far from retirement I don't find this book interesting or suitable for me now. I'm sure it would be useful to many other readers though.

Reading this review reminded me that it's never too early to start preparing for your retirement. I have to admit that this is often the last thing on my mind. I appreciate the time the author took to enlighten readers on the subject and help them understand the importance of retirement while also guiding them along the way. Congrats on the BOTD selection!

I believe that from the review it is safe to say that this book strongly teaches us how do plan for the future. The future that is retirement even as we savour the now.

I think this book shouldn't just be for those approaching retirement. Early planning is key, and since we will all face that at some point in our lives, then it's really important to start planning early. This book is definitely a must read.

The contents of this book are both timely and fascinating and will provide compulsive reading for anyone even remotely considering retirement. While the editorial errors are an issue, hopefully readers will look past them and get the full benefit from the advice.

This is a great book for people who wonder what retirement entails, how to prepare for it and how to live your best life in it as well. I appreciate the fact that the author presented facts and figures to back up his claims whilst giving an insight into the realities the retirees face. Thanks for your review. Congratulations on winning BOTD!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting self-help book focusing on helping those that are planning for retirement with a focus on how people can live their best lives in retirement. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

I believe this book would greatly resonate with people approaching their retirement age as well as young adults so that they know what to expect when retiring. I love how the author offers advice on what to do so as to survive retirement and also prepare for it. Anyways, thank you for this interesting review!

I agree as young people, we need to start from now to have more sources of income the sooner as it is better. The book provides many factors to consider when preparing for retirement. Congrats on the #BOTD.

Mark me guilty, as I am only living for today. After going through many events many people should never see or know about, I don't think a lot about retirement. I own my home and I do work that I like so and don't plan on ever quitting Good review.

Financial and healthcare needs become hugely important as we all age, so books that help people prepare for life after retirement can be critically necessary. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this one!
