Your Financial Peace-of-Mind Blueprint
I stumbled upon this audiobook just six months before my planned retirement, and thank goodness I did! The Medicare section alone saved me from making a costly mistake with my coverage options. Rose's straightforward approach made complex topics digestible during my morning walks. I've implemented her budget-stretching strategies and am confident my savings will last. My favorite part was the legacy planning chapter - I've had those difficult conversations with my kids that I'd avoided for years. The narrator's warm voice made potentially stressful financial topics feel manageable. This is now my retirement reference guide!

Exactly What I Needed!
This audiobook was exactly what I needed but didn’t know I was looking for. Retirement sounded like freedom, but when I actually got here, I realized how many decisions still had to be made, and how unsure I felt about making them. Between stretching my savings, figuring out Medicare, and making sure I wasn’t making any big mistakes, it started to feel more overwhelming than exciting. This audiobook helped calm the noise. It walks you through the essentials in a way that makes sense. I appreciated how practical it was. The section on avoiding common financial pitfalls was a big eye-opener, and the parts on legacy planning and keeping out of debt felt especially relevant for me and my family. It doesn’t promise overnight magic, but it does offer something better: confidence. Confidence that I can enjoy retirement now and still make smart choices for the future.
If you’re retired or heading that way soon and want some clear, grounded advice, this one’s worth a listen.

Great quick read!
I listened to this audiobook because retirement has felt like a moving target lately. It’s a quick listen, but it really helped me feel more grounded. I’m not a financial expert, so I appreciated how it broke things down without making me feel lost or behind. It gave me a few practical steps I could take right away. I’m still learning, but now I actually feel like I’ve got a plan.

Great guidance for a beginner!
If you haven’t ever considered planning for retirement, this is definitely a good place to start. Although I felt like a lot of information was rather generic, sometimes I feel like you have to start somewhere! This book is definitely for beginners, and people who haven’t taken any steps to begin planning for retirement already. Narrator was pretty good, but felt just a little bit slow in certain places. I recognize that could be due to my own personal preference, and you can definitely speed up the listening speed. I recommended this to one of my parents friends as a worthwhile quick listen to get the gears turning and encourage them to seek further books on more advanced concepts afterward!
