""This book is not meant to be merely an investment guide for retirees (or those approaching retirement), but rather a comprehensive handbook for retirees, present and future. To be sure, if you fail to plan financially, retirement can be a frustrating and fearful time. But the best financial planning in the world done in the nineties may be worthless in the twenty-first century if you don't take into account future health care costs, inflation, the economy, taxes, and so on. Therefore, I will try to help you think through each of these areas and make the best decisions possible as you approach retirement age. But more important, it is my desire that you understand how to evaluate future change for yourself and adjust accordingly." ""This book is meant to be a handbook for the plethora of decisions you must make, such as whether to buy more life insurance, purchase nursing home insurance, use a living trust, or prepay funeral expenses. The decisions you must make between now and the year 2000 are critical. But again I emphasize that the best any person can do is give good advice. Only God can give true wisdom.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
