5 Books About Managing Money as a Retiree
A lifetime of hard work and careful financial planning prepare people to retire comfortably. Money management does not end, however, when people retire. Older adults typically adjust their spending to accommodate fixed incomes. Some people also welcome the opportunity to spend more time managing investments now that they have fewer demands on their time. Estate planning frequently becomes a concern as well. Many personal finance books focus on the needs of younger people, but these titles guide older adults through the process of managing money during retirement.
