Summary
This text offers a fresh take on one of today's hottest money matters by outlining ways to tap most effectively into the retirement nest egg that you're currently nurturing.

Library Journal Review
Personal finance writer and financial education specialist Malaspina presents an excellent summary of the many options and decisions likely to be faced by the massive baby boomer population as they near retirement. She discusses such related topics as how to take money out of retirement plans, how to create a paycheck, how to manage assets as part of an estate or inherited from someone else's estate, how to provide for a spouse and transfer wealth to heirs, and how to seek guidance in selecting a financial advisor. This work's user-friendly approach to the complex decisions that have to be made about retirement savings set it apart from the crowd of other programs available. With narration by Susan O'Malley, this is highly recommended for all public libraries.ÄDale Farris, Groves, TX (c) Copyright 2010.
