Baby Boomer Survival Guide

Barbara Rockefeller Β· 2015
79/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

If you're a Boomer staring down retirement and feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of decisions in front of you, this book tries to put everything in one place. Social Security timing, Medicare, housing, reverse mortgages, wills, long-term care, and even which cities make sense on a fixed income β€” it's a broad sweep, not a deep dive on any single topic. The real value is the resource directory: agency contacts, facility lists, phone numbers you can actually use. The caveat worth flagging is that financial rules change, and a 2015 guide may be off on tax rates or Medicare specifics. Verify key numbers with a current source before acting on them. Solid starting map for an intimidating territory.
