Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Preparing for Retirement
Larry Burkett · 1995
65/100
👎 Skip It
Burkett's warm, pastoral voice and genuine compassion for the emotional side of retirement set this apart from clinical finance texts, and for readers who want financial guidance grounded in Christian stewardship it remains a meaningful companion. The specific financial data — Social Security figures, tax rules, investment options — is significantly dated from the early 1990s and should not be relied upon for current planning. Best treated as spiritual and emotional preparation rather than a practical financial roadmap.
