Senior Citizen Savvy – Great Book for Seniors
Those interested in making plans for their own retirement years or concerned about a parent’s retirement will find many of their questions answered here. The author writes the syndicated column “The Savvy Senior,” which is published in 400 newspapers, and he bases his book on the thousands of questions he receives on social security issues, Medicare, estate and retirement planning, health issues, caregiving, grandparenting and more. Miller’s writing style is a mixture of “just the facts, please” and light humor, allowing him to establish himself as a credible and knowledgeable expert. Numerous checklists, resources and charts make it easy to learn about such mundane topics as Medicare and living trusts, while “savvy notes” interspersed between paragraphs enlighten with odd factoids. Baby boomers caring for elderly parents will want to pay special attention to the section on avoiding telemarketing scams to seniors, who are the number one target for this type of criminal activity. And seniors on a fixed income will find the section on “Cost-Cutting Tips on Prescription Drugs” helpful as they learn how to apply for free prescription drugs from the pharmaceutical companies.
I’m a loyal reader of the Savvy Senior newspaper column and found the book to be equally delightful. The service that Savvy Senior provides older Americans is the best information source around. The book is easy to read and very informative with lots of money savings tips and resources so you can find answers to almost everything you want. A great book for every household.
This is a great resource that I found very valuable. I also appreciate the fact that it’s very practical and user-friendly, with a touch of humor that makes it fun to read. I highly recommend it!
