Great advice from real retirees March 9, 2010
C. D. Vantries
The book was really helpful for brainstorming ideas of what to do and what you can do after retirement. Quick read and practical advice.

I am on the eve of starting the retirement phase of my life and decided to get this book for inspiration. It turned out to be a collection of comments from people in answer to questions posed by the authors. Overall I felt it was worth the read. Most comments were things I considered before setting the date. Yet other comments brought out details I haven't thought of yet. This is not a "planning" manual but simply things to consider when leaving the workplace to embark on retirement....

Little to no value to this! I was looking for a smart guide to help my Dad, who has just retired. This is a real snore, with vague, generalized advice, and nothing you don't already know. I bought two others here that are well-rated but also look not nearly good enough. Is this a field filled with bad books?

This book is essentially a sampling of retirees' random thoughts. It lacks discrimination as to their quality or relevance. It offers no guiding themes although in a misguided attempt at balance it presents pairs of contradictory opinions.
On the plus side, the book made decent fuel, and helped to get some damp firewood going in my wood stove.
Bolles' book and Zelinski's book are much more useful.
 Great Gift! April 21, 2008

I gave this book to my dad and he LOVED it. It was a fun read that reminded him that he is not alone in dealing with retirement. He liked the sense of community that came with reading the book. I recommend it as a great gift for a newly retired person.
