About this item

NOW COMPLETELY UPDATED to reflect the changes in tax legislation, health insurance, and the new investment realities. In this "highly valuable resource" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) Quinn "provides simple, straightforward" (The New York Times) solutions to the universal retirement dilemma - how to make your limited savings last for life - covering mortgages, social security, income investing, annuities, and more! Will you run out of money in your older age? That's the biggest worry for people newly retired or planning to retire. Fortunately, you don't have to plan in the dark. Jane Bryant Quinn tells you how to squeeze a higher income from all your assets - including your social security account (get every dollar you're entitled to) , a pension (discover whether a lump sum or a lifetime monthly income will pay you more) , your home equity (sell, rent, or take a reverse mortgage?) , savings (how to use them safely to raise your monthly income) , retirement accounts (invest the money for growth in ways that let you sleep at night) , and - critically - how much of your savings you can afford to spend every year without running out.
