76/100
👍 Worth It
Michele Cagan's updated primer covers all the retirement basics — 401(k)s, Social Security, insurance — in a way reviewers call genuinely accessible without dragging on too long. I couldn't track down specific feedback on Jennifer Aquino's narration for this new edition, so go in with modest expectations there. Worth It as a clear, comprehensive starting point for retirement planning.
