The Hard Times Guide
I wrote The Hard Times Guide to Retirement Security to give Baby Boomers the first examination of retirement issues in the new post-crash economy. As a journalist covering retirement security issues, I wanted to show how strategies for money, work and living can be interwoven and leveraged for retirement security–even in the Great Recession. I also hope to help readers boost their retirement I.Q.s by showcasing the best thinking I’ve been able to find in my reporting on retirement and aging.
