ABOUT THE BOOK
Beginning with the first edition published in 2001, baby boomers have turned to Pulitzer Prize nominee and former Washington Post Retirement Journal columnist Stan Hinden's accessible and reliable advice on the daunting tasks of planning for retirement. From financial decisions like when to take money out of an IRA and where to invest in retirement, to lifestyle decisions such as where to live and how to deal with aging, Stan provides accurate and expert advice, served up in easy-to- understand step-by-step style.
Much has changed since the second edition was published in 2006. The 2008-2009 meltdown in the stock market, the deep recession and the crises in housing and the banking industry have all forced extraordinary changes in the retirement plans and expectations of baby boomers. In addition, the arrival of the Obama administration has sharpened the focus and the likelihood of major changes in federal and state programs that affect most retirees: Medicare, Medigap, Medicaid, Social Security and pensions. This fully revised and updated third editions covers all these changes and more.
