Book Review - Ready for Pretirement: 3 Secrets for Safe Money and a Fabulous Future


READY FOR PRETIREMENT: Plan Retirement Early So Your Money is There When You Need It

Author: Kris Miller

Review:   This book is filled with needed information for anyone every planning to stop working.  Retirement seems like eons away and yet it will be here before most of us notice.  DO you have a will, trust, 401K, IRA, savings accounts or any other accounts that you earn money in or put money in, you need this book, or maybe a Dave Ramsey book, to help you decide what to do.  Unless you are an expert on money and money management you need help…I need help and I read and read about money matters.

Long-term care, Medicare, Social Security…what do these actually cover and what do they mean?  Will it be enough or will you go broke paying bills you thought were covered by one program or another?  Well read something about the future and where to put your money…read this book and find out something you may not have known or at least not known much about.

I need to study the last chapter more fully, I depend on my money guy to take care of all that stuff…you know the stuff I don’t understand and he swears he does…well I guess it’s time I learned and started knowing where my money is and what it's doing for me.
