A new book on retirement planning is unique as it offers advice and guidance to future and current retirees based on their experiences, rather than on a more philosophical lecturing approach. It offers advice on budgeting, preventive health programs, preparing wills and living wills, attaining overall peace of mind, and winding down and preparing for what will hopefully be a pleasant phase in retirees’ lives. The authors, CPA Michael Bivona, and his wife, Barbara, came up with the book concept after often being asked by friends nearing retirement how they dealt with retired life’s many challenges, according to a press release on www.prweb.com.
