by Mark Singer, Erwin Allado, Kate Allado

Retirement. It’s what most working people live for, isn’t it? That time when there are clocks, no boss and no deadlines. If retirement is supposed to be bliss, why are so many people depressed and discouraged living in retirement? The reason is that most people don’t know how to prepare. They focus on their “number” – that magical amount that will carry them through and allow them to follow their dreams. But, they don’t focus on all of the other aspects of Health, wellness, living out the second half of life, and living options to name just a few. After working with retirees for over 25 years, Mark Singer started to see patterns. He understood what made the difference between those enjoying retirement, and those just in retirement. Now, for the first time, Mark has compiled information from five experts into one book to help you master the transition of a lifetime. Contributors Don’t wait – get your copy today. Whether you are 30 years from retirement, 30 days from retirement or living in retirement – it’s a must read filled with gems and useful information.

This book was interesting.

The high point for me was the financial section. I am not usually interested in that but the section 4. Generating the Income Tax Efficiently was rarely seen and clearly explained by Mark Singer.

The low point was by Dr. Peter Martone who claims that eating onion and garlic will just make your breath stink. It's been scientifically proven that onion and garlic are healthy for you. There are ways to repair your breath.

Also the only healthy way to sleep is on your back according to him. Lack of understanding, dare I say empathy for those that can't sleep that way clear. I guess we will all just not live as long. Haha.

Excellent book. Details thoughts and ideas in areas different than most retirement books. I truly enjoyed reading this and have picked up a number of things my husband and I need to be talking about over the next year.....
