Review by Digital Dori for How to Retire Happy: The 12 Most Important Decisions You Must Make Before You Retire, Third Edition
Rating:
For a financial writer with a major newspaper, this author was surprisingly uninformed about his retirement planning. He points out the mistakes he made, primarily from being uninformed about social security, his 401-k investment options, and how much money he might need in retirement. He then goes on to tell what he would have done differently HAD HE REALIZED the implications of his inaction while young. He realized too late that a little planning during his career would have made a big difference to him in retirement. While well written, this book is pretty basic. It is a good primer for someone thinking of their retirement options. This is an easy, enjoyable read; I finished it in two evenings.

They say hindsight is 20/20, but by reading this book your foresight will be too. There is no hype here, just straight common sense from a guy who’s already where you want to be.
Are you planning on living on less money in retirement? Do you really want to? Stan tells you that’s not realistic and why. And what to expect about taxes, and health insurance.. Take it from someone who’s already there. This book will help you ensure a comfortable and happy retirement.

Well written and easy to read. The book fills in the gaps leading to retirement and allows one to make up for lost time in looking at things that need to be considered for retirement.

I ordered this ook hoping for generalized retirement solutions and found it full of 401k and Medicare details. None of this applies to anyone outside the US so don’t bother with it.
