Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Everything Retirement Planning Book
Judith R. Harrington & Stanley Steinberg · 2007
🎙 Narrated by Michael Coon
54/100
👎 Skip It
A broad, one-stop reference from a trusted series, covering investments, Social Security, healthcare, and lifestyle planning in one go. The catch: it's from 2007-2008, so specific tax rules and account figures are almost certainly stale and need double-checking against current law. Narrator Michael Coon got an actual AudioFile review, a good sign for the listen, though I couldn't retrieve what it said.
