Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Preparing for the Back Nine of Life
Eric Peterson · 2015
55/100
👎 Skip It
Eric Peterson covers the full retirement planning spectrum — Social Security, healthcare, estate planning, tax strategy — in plain language, and the breadth is genuinely useful for someone starting from scratch. The problem is that it was published in 2015 via an authority-marketing imprint with no independent editorial vetting, the tax advice predates the SECURE Act, and the Iowa-specific context limits its applicability. There are better-vetted retirement guides available today.
