A real world perspective with options and solutions
24 Aug 2007
Format:Hardcover
Unlike so many other Retirement "advisories" this author relates his real experiences with real world scenarios rather than the "high road" of other financial authors. He clearly describes his/the situation, why/how he made his choices and the result. Sometimes good and sometimes he explains how he could have made a better choice using hindsight as his guide. For someone like me, just entering retirement, his aptly described experiences will allow me to make better decisions and have confidence that my decisions are the best option for me. Mr. Bridges clearly defines the un-controlables (and there are many) but also presents options/solutions to position oneself for the best result.

keep this one handy
27 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback
Full of real world advice and thoughtful suggestions, the book uses examples based on personal experience as well as sound research to educate others about the complex subject of retirement planning. I especially appreciated the well thought out worksheets covering all aspects of this life event.
It's refreshing to find a road map written by someone who has been there before, and is not afraid to admit there may have been other routes he could have taken. An excellent book to read and re-read.
