The Columbia Retirement Handbook

While other retirement guides tend to concentrate on financial planning alone, Abraham Monk's work discusses all of the important issues and decisions that affect retirees in the 1990s. The handbook contains up-to-date information on the retirement process and offers help by providing lists of relevant books, helpful organizations and knowledgeable professionals, complete with addresses and telephone numbers. It contains information on: retirement and the American woman; social security and social insurance benefits; the job market after retirement; age discrimination; health care options for the elderly; housing options for the independent or dependent retiree; social networks and support groups; and legal issues.
