Genre: non-fiction finance advice
I got this audiobook back when I just wanted something to have on my phone while I drive. The narrator's voice is incredible and I enjoyed listening . . . but often I wanted to skip ahead (like the social security section on "if you were born prior to 1953" . . .). Sometimes the topics were just too complex for me to wrap my brain around, though she does explain things clearly.
I remembered this title and knew that I had loaned my print copy to a friend. I got that back but kept listening. Basically, I've listened to more than three-fourths of this book and have read about 100 pages of the book. I'm blogging just to be done for now.
I love love love that she offers different scenarios! In the health insurance chapter, she says, "If you haven't worked long enough to quality for Medicare, . . . " "If you 're in a Part D drug plan. . . " She does that for each of the sections to offer advice whether you have very few resources or great wealth.
I would love for Louie to read this book so we could talk about the topics! I don't think this is necessarily a cover-to-cover book to read. Here are the chapter headings:
The Joy and Challenge of Life After Work
Rightsize Your Life
How to Double Your Social Security Income (Well, Almost)
Getting the Most from Your Health Insurance - Before and After 65
Pensions Are for Stre-e-e-etching
Should You Buy Yourself a Pension?
Powering Your Retirement Savings Plans
The Speed Limit on Retirement Spending: Still 4 Percent?
Investing for Income: Not What You Think
Home Sweet Income-Producing Home
Living on Your Life Insurance
Just Tell Me What to Do
I'm really enjoying her advice, wisdom, and experience in these matters!
