Savvy Life

Retirement Savvy is designed for people who planned carefully for their financial future but may not have thought much about what they would do with all that time. For previous generations, retirement represented the end of things. I suggest that now, "retirement" means doing what you want and making choices based on your interests and passions. Yet too many people haven't planned their retirement as well as they planned their careers. This guide helps people (retired or just planning it) to craft a plan, considering a variety of issues: moving, travel, working, volunteering, caregiving, etc. Appendices on Medicare, Internet Safety and more help add value.
