| Your
Next Twenty Years
If you are 65 and in
reasonably good
health the chances are excellent that
you will
live to at least age 85. That means twenty years of
living--and oftentimes working--in retirement. In
fact, in today's economy, working may be a high priority
for you.
On this site you
will find real life experiences of retired people and what to do in those twenty years to make
the most of them--and what to avoid. The names have been
changed, the retiree stories are real.

life" plans. Ads for annuities are
everywhere. 9 things you must ask

by Medicare
and health insurance?
Medigap Plans turn

appear--although you could hardly tell from the confusing
advertising. We try to clear up the confusion with the
facts. |
