Overview
For the first time in paperback, this highly praised guide is now updated with the latest information on federal programs and laws that affect every American's retirement security—from the author of The Retirement Catch-Up Guide. Whether you like it or not, Uncle Sam will have an impact on your retirement. To understand how and what to do about it, Hoffman has created an excellent guide to all the pertinent topics: Social Security, Medicare, Long Term Care, Pensions, Nursing Home Care, Job Security/Age Discrimination Laws, Your Retirement Home, Consumer Protection, and Tax Laws. In each area, she clearly covers: What You Need to Know; The Decisions You Need to Make; The Tax Factor; and Where to Find More Information. Written with clarity and care, with simple examples from everyday life and checklists of potential tax savings, this handy paperback won rave reviews when first published in hardcover (under the title Bankroll Your Future).Author Biography: Ellen Hoffman is the author of The Retirement Catch-Up Guide, the retirement columnist for Business Week Online and has written for Money magazine's monthly newsletter, Retire With Money, Modern Maturity, and other national magazines. She has appeared on the Today Show, CNN, MSNBC, and many other television programs. Hoffman has served on the staff of the US Senate, where one of her specialties was issues affecting the elderly. She lives in the Washington, D.C. area.
