You're Retired Now What Money Skills for a Comfortable Retirement [Paperback]

Retirement: A time in your life when you should be kicking back and relaxing on a sandy beach or a golf course, without a care in the world. Right? Well, these days it's a bit more complicated than that. With Social Security and Medicare hanging in the balance, questions and uncertainties abound: Will you have enough money? Will you need a part-time job? Do you have adequate health insurance? Here is the road map you need for a comfortable, stress-free retirement—complete with sandy beaches, if that's your preference. Ron and Murray Yolles, a father-and-son team who have advised retirees on money matters for fifty years, provide a solid, down-to-earth plan for a successful retirement, covering everything from the best investment strategies to maximizing retirement plans and IRAs.

Will your money last? This book helps make sure it does for the millions of Americans entering retirement, answering this key question and many more in an easy-to-read, friendly way. —Jean-Marie Eveillard, President, SoGen Funds.

You're Retired, Now What? is a great read to help clear one's mind of all the conflicting financial advice that exists today. —David Herro, CFA, Partner, Director of International Equities The Oakmark International Funds.
