Baby Boomers are leaving the workforce and entering retirement in overwhelming numbers. This book addresses many issues associated with retirement in a user-friendly manner. It provides concepts related to age-based, emotion-based and finance-based retirement. Although the target audience is Boomers, the book would be invaluable to those new to the workforce as well as those retiring within a decade or two.
