Fits my life and circumstances
Too many retirement books offer advice that is not practical for me. Usually I am pleased to find ONE idea that I can act on in these financial advice books. Hoffman's book provided over 11 ideas that make sense at my age and financial circumstances. The practical advice is based on real life examples collected from a wholesome variety of folks. The 54 stories provide a window on the lives of regular people eager to maintain a sense of control over their financial lives - without the "get rich" quick flavor of many financial books. Maybe Hoffman can go on and help her readers address our concerns re handling the health care services we will need in our future.
