This book provides wonderful suggestions about how to make the most out of retirement by ensuring that your dollars go as far as possible in terms of budgeting, finding fulfillment, and making choices about work, Social Security, housing, and travel. I learned quite a bit.

Harriet Edleson has written a concise guide for those who have not budgeted nor saved enough to continue their current lifestyle when they retire, or who do not have any retirement benefits other than some level of social security. Her book 12 Ways to Retire on Less, is a good primer for those who are not on track to be able to maintain their current lifestyle when they retire. She provides a guide to help the 40% of the population between 55 and 64 years of age who do not have retirement accounts. This book is an imperative for anyone who questions if they will have “enough” as well as those who may feel fairly comfortable, but would like to learn how they can retire on “less.” It is well written, straight forward and a compelling read.
