Retirement has been dramatically changing over the past 20 years because of economics, demographics and politics. Employees have had to increasingly rely on their savings and 401(k) plans instead of old-fashioned company defined pension plans. In addition, people are living longer, more active retirements–and less likely to just sit around but eager to work, without jeopardizing their savings and health benefits. This book will address the specific financial concerns but also explore ways readers can plan for healthy, active retirement lifestyles.
