How to Make Your Money Last

New York Times–Bestselling Author: An updated edition of the “treasure chest of financial secrets. . . . for anyone who is about to retire or has retired” (Forbes).

Will you run out of money in your senior years? That’s the biggest worry for people newly retired or planning to retire. Renowned financial journalist Jane Bryant Quinn tells you how to squeeze a higher income from all your assets—including:

*your social security account (get every dollar you’re entitled to)

*a pension (discover whether a lump sum or a lifetime monthly income will pay you more)

*your home equity (sell, rent, or take a reverse mortgage?)

*savings (how to use them safely to raise your monthly income)

*retirement accounts (invest the money for growth in ways that let you sleep at night)

*and—critically—how much of your savings you can afford to spend every year without running out

Completely updated to reflect changes in tax legislation, health insurance, and investment realities, this “highly valuable resource” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) provides straightforward solutions to the universal retirement dilemma—how to make your limited savings last for life—covering mortgages, social security, income investing, annuities, and more.
