Book Reviews of The Wall Street Journal. Complete Retirement Guidebook: How to Plan It, Live It and Enjoy It

Book Review: This is a great 5-star book
Summary: 5 Stars

I have just finished reading this book and found it full of great advice and great examples. There are many real world examples from real people who are happy or unhappy with choices they made. I bought this book for the non-financial advice it contains and I am very happy. Every few pages it got my attention with something to think about. The financial advice is fine too; nothing objectionable there. This is an execllent first book about retirement. I would have paid twice the cover price for it.
