Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
The Smartest Retirement Book You'll Ever Read
Daniel R. Solin · 2009
68/100
👎 Skip It
Solin breaks investing, Social Security timing, Medicare, and withdrawal strategy into bite-sized chapters with handy takeaway boxes, which makes the material genuinely easy to digest. The catch is it was written back in 2009 and leans on readers already having a solid nest egg, so specifics need updating and it may not fit where you're starting from.
