Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Retirement Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint
Chris Scalese · 2012
60/100
👎 Skip It
Scalese writes clearly and the marathon metaphor is genuinely useful for framing the long-game mindset retirement requires, but this is a practitioner-marketing book more than a comprehensive guide. With minimal independent critical coverage and advice that may have aged since 2012, readers approaching retirement are better served by more current and more rigorously reviewed options.
