Excellent Resource for retirement planning!

I have not done a very good job of planning for my retirement. A friend recommended I listen to this and I am so glad I did. This audiobook has solid advice and strategies that I have already started to implement. I also had not given much thought to the whole issue of healthcare after I retired, and I learned so much about it from listening to this audiobook. It has been very helpful.

A great resource for supporting my dad’s retirement

I picked up this audiobook to help my dad, who’s approaching retirement and feeling unsure about the whole process. I wanted to be better equipped to support him through it, especially when it comes to financial planning and healthcare decisions. This audiobook was a great help. The section on minimizing taxes in retirement gave us both new insights that we hadn’t even considered before.

What made the experience even better was the narrator’s voice—calm and clear, making the complex topics easier to understand. My dad isn’t the biggest fan of long financial discussions, but he actually enjoyed listening to the explanations with me.

This book helped us have more productive conversations about his future, and it made me feel confident that we’re on the right track. If you’re looking to support a loved one approaching retirement, I highly recommend this audiobook. It’s packed with useful information and made the whole process feel less overwhelming.

Good emotional preparation

I found 'Planning 101' to be a good book on retirement. It's a challenging time for many and requires planning and strategy to be successful and not feel like you're suddenly adrift. This audiobook provided a reassuring roadmap, with checklists that I found very helpful. It covers not just the emotional side of the issue but touches upon estate planning, earning income in retirement, and healthcare. A very good listen that demystifies the topic.
