Used by the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Continental Airlines, McGraw Hill Publishing Company, the United Federation of Teachers, and the N.Y.P.D.—to mention just a few names—Retiring Right is fast becoming this country's most popular book on retirement. Now, in its 2004 edition, this book is primed to become number one.

Written by Dr. Lawrence J. Kaplan, one of the country's leading experts in retirement planning, this practical book answers all your most important questions about savings and investment income, the Social Security system, and so much more. Each section covers a particular area of concern, including lifestyle issues such as working, leisure, and housing; long-term retirement funding, including savings and investments and pensions; day-to-day financial considerations, such as budgeting and taxes; life and health insurance; and preparing for the inevitable through estate planning, wills, and trusts. All information reflects the most recent regulations so that readers can take full advantage of the new 2004 tax laws and maximize their retirement income.

Through planning guides and worksheets, Retiring Right helps readers apply successful retirement strategies to meet their individual needs. These guides allow them to evaluate their financial situation, select and implement the means by which they can achieve financial security, and chart their own course towards a fulfilling and secure retirement.
