According to recent reports published by the Center for Retirement Research (CRR), nearly a third of all households nearing retirement age have little or no retirement savings. That means they may not be able to retire by their target age and may have to keep working long past retirement age just to survive. If you don’t want to end up in the same situation or worse, you need to get started on saving for retirement today.

Much needed info!
I wanted to learn more about Social Security, and this book does an excellent job of explaining everything clearly, from the basics to more advanced concepts that will help you achieve a successful retirement. The chapter on Medicare was particularly helpful. I used to help seniors enroll in their Medicare plans, and it's an overwhelming subject, so the book provided a great refresher. I believe everyone should have this information available because it can save you money year after year. I liked the real-life examples and scenarios, which help listeners relate to the content and apply it to their own situations. The narration was engaging and made it an enjoyable listen. It's a no-nonsense guide that everyone should listen to in order to prepare for retirement.

Comprehensive!
I picked up this audio guide as an advanced listener since i am already starting to think of retirement. I was surprised to learn that my mother who has retired years ago might be missing out on some benefits. I strongly recommend this guide to anyone with retired parents or those who are nearing retirement themselves.
