Professional Review:
When is the right time to retire? Should you relocate, and if so, where? How can you make sure your money will last as long as you do? What kind of lifestyle will best suit your retirement years? Two million Americans reach retirement age each year, and they urgently need reliable information and guidance as they plan for the second half of their lives.

Drawing on the expertise of the authors-who conduct retirement seminars and have traveled extensively investigating places to retire and talking to prospective retirees and those who have taken the plunge-as well as the insights of contributing experts in various fields, Retire Right is designed to be a comprehensive, all-inclusive resource.

- Provides detailed information about particular locales, financial planning and tax considerations, lifelong learning opportunities, leisure and volunteer activities, and working after retirement

- Includes interactive surveys, questionnaires, and worksheets to involve readers in the rewarding process of planning their ideal retirement

- Delves into the psychological issues surrounding retirement

Filled with practical information and advice, anecdotes, resources, and a healthy dose of humor, Retire Right is the one and only guide retirees will ever need.

User Reviews:
 Rating 5   Written on January 10, 2007
   Summary: Retirement
This is a great book for the person retiring! I gave this to my father in-law for Christmas after his retirement and he really enjoys it!

 Rating 4   Written on January 9, 2007
   Summary: A Boon for Boomers
Cullinane and Fitzgerald discuss many aspects of retirement with clearly outlined topics, lively anecdotes, checklists, and worksheets. Their suggestions will appeal to boomers who may be anticipating retirement, except for their "recommended living locations" listings in chapter 5. Some of their upscale venue ideas are beyond the financial resources of many boomers. Some readers may find gaps in their discussion addressed helpfully in a recent publication--Spiritual Wisdom for Successful Retirement: Living Forward [Haworth Press]. For the price and timely facts, this is an excellent resource.

 Rating 5   Written on July 25, 2006
   Summary: Bought it, read it, loved it
Comprehensive but specific, easy to read, full of good ideas, practical advice, and stories to illustrate points. A gem of a book!

 Rating 5   Written on July 25, 2006
   Summary: Best Book on Retirement
I felt compelled to submit this review after reading the comment about the book having too much info. Indeed, that is the exact thing I thought was best about the book - the authors obviously are very familiar with all that is our there on retirement and condensed (at almost 500 pages, it's hard to say "condensed"!)it into one excellent book. It has saved me both time and money. The websites, checksheets, and specific recommendations with honest appraisals of places to consider for relocation are invaluable. The chapters on finances and tax are also outstanding (I have a business background), and the info about psychology, health, working, and travel contribute to make it a comprehensive book.

Best book on retirement out there, in my opinion!


 Rating 3   Written on July 24, 2006
   Summary: The book is so comprehensive it's superficial

In the introduction, the authors note that this is the only book on retirement that addresses both lifestyle and financial issues. I looked forward to this resource that promised to treat me like a whole person. Unfortunately though, the book for me seemed less a guide on retirement and more like a college project gone wild. It was as if the author's carted armloads of books back from the library and scoured the Internet and then cut and pasted the material they liked to make this book. As a consequence of tossing at the reader all conceivable information about a topic, the retirement specific issues don't get enough attention. Much of the information here is better left to other books, such as the detailed tips on working with a contractor to build a new custom home. For me the book was a waste of my time in trying to cull the few retirement related morsels from the warmed over generic dribble.
