Retirement on a Shoestring
Retirement can be a time of growth, adventure, or complete and utter relaxation. Unfortunately, not everyone has a company pension or a profitable investment portfolio to help cushion the retirement years. For all too many, the main source of retirement dollars will be Social Security benefits. In Retirement on a Shoestring, John Howells, a nationally recognized expert on retirement living, explains how to maximize your retirement income and enjoy these years in comfort. With up-to-date information on topics such as quality housing, cultural/recreational offerings, affordability, medical care, real estate taxes, retiring in foreign countries, and availability and quality of senior services, this essential guide provides all the tools for enjoying an affordable, active, and safe retirement. Look inside for strategies on enjoying enriched retirement, getting everything you're entitled to, trimming utility bills, reducing the danger of crime, thriving as a single, living with dignity - without compromise and much more.

Very out of date, seems to believe they need to repeat things multiple times (I am not senile yet) and honestly I suspect these 2 have never lived on a shoestring in their life. For example the publication data was 1995 Cable TV was listed as a necessity. If it is 1995 edition rabbit ears and broadcast was still an option (pre HDTV) I had them. If post HDTV, WiFi. And who NEEDS Television there were always books.
