Publisher's Note Easy-to-read, easy-to-follow successful strategies that baby boomers and seniors have taken to get their retirement saving and planning up to speed, so that you too can catch-up before it's too late-from the author of Bankroll Your Future. 76% of "pre-retirees" do not feel "very confident" about having enough money for retirement, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. 46% of Americans-including those aged 51 to 61-have saved less than $10,000 for retirement, according to a Public Agenda Study, which also says that a worker who earns $35,000 a year for 35 years will be able to replace only 65% of his income with pension and Social Security benefits. For the millions of Americans who have put off planning and saving for retirement, financial writer Ellen Hoffman relates 54 real-life success stories so that readers can get some ideas about what they can do to catch up right now, without a calculator, no matter what their financial resources. Designed in a very readable, very accessible format, without resorting to abstract charts and financial formulas, The Retirement Catch-Up Guide reveals how finding a "lost" pension, creating a retirement vision, setting up a reverse mortgage or a small business, and dozens of other strategies can help late starters build their retirement assets.
